Chefs Explore Possibilities With New Snake River Farms Ground Kurobuta Pork
BOISE, Idaho (PRWEB) May 06, 2015 -- Snake River Farms today announced the availability of its newest restaurant and retail sales product, ground Kurobuta pork. Ground pork provides chefs with a versatile product to expand their arsenal of entrees with the distinct texture and flavor of Kurobuta pork.
High profile chefs around the country, including celebrity chef Lee Anne Wong of Koko Head Café in Honolulu, HI, already use ground Kurobuta to create entirely new dishes as well as fresh takes on traditional dishes. Wong says, “I’ve been a fan of Kurobuta pork for a long time. Snake River Farms ground Kurobuta pork is perfect for any recipe calling for ground pork. The result is richer, juicier, more flavorful – I use Snake River Farms Kurobuta for my favorite dumpling recipes!”
Agri Beef Executive Director of Marketing Jay Theiler says the new product reflects the increasing demand for distinct dining experiences that incorporate the highest quality ingredients. “Similar to the status of Kobe beef, Kurobuta pork is considered the most flavorful meat in its class. Chefs in any setting now have the opportunity to expand their creativity with an amazingly versatile product that can be used in everything from breakfast sausages to pork sliders to meatballs to dumplings.”
Snake River Farms Kurobuta pork is naturally raised, using only 100% purebred Berkshire hogs as mandated by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture. The versatile product is currently available in a 10 lb. case through food distributors.
