What’s The Big Deal About Duroc?
Even avid meatetarians may not be familiar with this incredible meat. But if you truly love pork, this is the breed to know.
At Hagberg’s, we’re known for our beef, but that doesn’t mean we slack off when it comes to pork. Sourcing is our sweet spot. We put just as much care into finding the best of the best. Most of the pork in our case comes from local producers whenever we can swing it, which means fresher, better-tasting cuts for you. We’ve learned that working closely with local farmers makes a big difference in what ends up on your table.
Just like with our beef, we think you deserve top-tier pork. That’s why we’re proud to offer premium Duroc pork. It’s all natural, raised right here in Minnesota, and held to some of the highest standards in the industry with no growth stimulants, no unnecessary antibiotics, and a strong focus on animal welfare.
If you love good food, you know there’s nothing quite like that first bite of perfectly cooked meat. Duroc pork delivers exactly that. From chops, ribs, and roasts to bone-in hams, tenderloins, and our famous smoked bacon, Duroc is known for its bold flavor and unbeatable tenderness.
Often called the “Black Angus of pork,” Duroc gets its reputation from its beautiful marbling – those thin streaks of fat that melt as it cooks, giving you a buttery, juicy bite every time. Thanks to its genetics, this pork is naturally tender, flavorful, and clearly a cut above your everyday grocery-store options.
Part of what makes Duroc special is that it’s not something you find everywhere. The breed requires more specialized care, so it’s not as common as standard pork. Luckily for you, we’ve got the local hook-up.
Why Duroc Stands Out:
• Amazing flavor: Rich, savory, and seriously delicious.
• Unreal tenderness: Marbling keeps every cut juicy.
• Super versatile: Great for grilling, roasting, or slow cooking.
• High-quality care: Raised with strict standards for consistent, top-notch meat.
Duroc pork isn’t just another cut of meat. It’s an experience. If you love cooking (or just love eating), this is pork worth getting fired up about.
