About Pork shoulder chops
Pork shoulder chops are bone-in or boneless slices from the shoulder area of the pig. They are usually pink to reddish pink, with visible seams of fat and connective tissue; a bone may be present depending on the cut. Their raw texture is firm, and the flavour is mild. The fat and connective tissue can make the cooked result richer than a lean loin portion.
They are commonly grilled, pan-fried, or braised, with slower cooking often used for thicker or more connective portions. Cut thickness, bone, and trimming vary. This entry refers to fresh shoulder chops, not a cured or seasoned product, and does not specify a cooked state.
