Niman Ranch raises heritage hogs on independent family farms, crate-free and never on antibiotics. They grow slower and eat better for darker meat, richer fat, and real pork flavor. Boneless and skinless, so it comes ready to cook with nothing to trim and no bone weight to pay for. Picnic is the harder-working end of the shoulder, which is why it makes better carnitas and chile verde than butt. Give it time and low heat and it gets silky but never dry. Roll and tie it for porchetta, or grind it for the best sausage you'll make all year. Packed 2 pieces per bag, 2 bags per case.
