Linton Pasture Pork Secreto — Cooking Guide

About This Product

A Hidden Cut with Incredible Marbling and Flavour. Our Linton Pasture Pork Secreto is one of the most flavourful and sought-after pork cuts available. Known as the “secret cut,” secreto comes from the shoulder area of the pig and is prized for its beautiful marbling and rich, juicy texture.

Chef's Tip

A brief brine or dry rub 30 minutes ahead makes a noticeable difference on leaner pork cuts.
