🐖 Pork Crown – Upside Down Cut | The ultimate centerpiece on your table

Impressive appearance, traditional origin, authentic taste

✨ Description

The pork crown is one of the most impressive and "festive" cuts of the pig. It is so named because its cut (a "crown roast") forms a circular "crown", creating a spectacular dish that dominates the table - both in appearance and taste.

This particular reverse cut is a bolder, "handmade" approach that highlights the bone and the flavor continuity of the meat. In contrast to the symmetrical crown, the reverse cut offers a more natural presentation with a more pronounced rustic character.

✔️ Comes from the pork shoulder , with the bone preserved and cleaned (frenched bone)
✔️ Each steak remains connected, allowing for even cooking and better moisture retention
✔️ The thickness is ideal so it doesn't dry out, while the bone enhances the flavor
✔️ Suitable for baking whole in the oven , with or without filling in the center
✔️ Impressive and presentation element on a buffet or festive table

A premium piece for demanding lovers of pork and impressive presentation.
