About Pork shoulder joint
A pork shoulder joint is a large cut taken from the shoulder, generally sold as a single piece for cooking. It can contain muscle, seams of fat, connective tissue, and sometimes bone, with pinkish raw meat and pale fat. The flavour is mild and savoury, and the texture becomes more tender with suitable cooking.
It is commonly roasted or slow-cooked, and may be sold bone-in or boneless and with varying amounts of skin and fat. The name does not specify a precise shoulder subcut or trimming level. This description concerns a fresh joint, not a cured, seasoned, or already cooked roast.
