About Pork breast

Pork breast is a cut or cut designation for meat from the breast area of a pig. The exact anatomical boundaries and trimming are not specified by this catalogue name, and the item may be offered fresh or in a processed form. It is used as pork in cooking, but the name alone does not establish a particular preparation or recipe.

A piece may include varying amounts of meat and fat, so its appearance and texture depend on trimming and the particular cut. Cooking changes the texture, and seasoning or curing may also alter the finished product, but neither is stated here. Package details are needed to know the precise cut and condition.
