About this cut

What it is and how to use it

The pork collar is the muscle that runs from the shoulder toward the loin along the neck. It is well marbled and flavorful, and more tender than the rest of the shoulder. It is the same muscle that is cured and sold as coppa. It is sold as a boneless roast, often scored, or cut into steaks. It can be roasted, grilled, or slow cooked.

Cook’s tipRoast it to at least 145°F and rest three minutes for slices, or cook longer for pulled pork. Score the surface to help the seasoning in.
