Pork Back Fat

Interested in making sausage? Elevate your recipe with our premium Pork Back Fat, which adds a layer of subtle flavor and richness. Our pigs are raised in the forest and pasture, enhancing the natural flavor of the fat for exceptional sausage-making.

Cooking Notes

For sausage-making, aim for a ratio of 70% lean trim to 30% Pork Back Fat, which is ideal for producing 10 lbs of sausage. Ensure that your ingredients and grinder are kept very cold throughout the process to achieve the desired consistency and texture in your sausages.

What to Expect

The back fat, sourced from the top half of the animal, is firm and well-suited for sausage making, imparting richness and flavor to the meat blend. In contrast, fat from the lower half is typically used for rendering into lard. The chunks of back fat we provide specifically come from the back region of our pigs, where the fat develops a unique character due to their natural diet and active lifestyle. When ground with lean meat, this back fat enhances the texture and taste of sausages, ensuring exceptional flavor with every bite.
