Kurobuta (aka "black hog") is the Japanese term for the Berkshire breed – the source of the country's famous pork from the Kagoshima prefecture. Like its Japanese counterpart, the kurobuta from Snake River Farms is deep in color and streaked with fine marbling that makes this thick-sliced bacon exceptionally tender and delicious. Its rich flavor is complemented perfectly by the subtle sweetness of brown sugar, expert curing according to an old family recipe and light smoking over hardwood chips.
