About Pork neck

Pork neck is meat from the pig's neck or adjoining collar region. It is typically a well-marbled cut, with visible streaks of fat among pink-red muscle; exact fat content and structure depend on where the butcher separates the cut. The texture is more substantial than a very lean loin portion, and its flavour is savory.

It is sold as steaks, a roast, slices or minced meat, and is commonly grilled, braised or roasted. Names and boundaries for neck and collar cuts vary between butchery traditions. Fresh unseasoned neck is distinct from cured, marinated or minced products made from it.
