resh Pork Shank is a traditional cut appreciated throughout Europe for its rich flavour and exceptionally tender, succulent texture. Taken from the lower part of the pig’s leg, it is naturally rich in connective tissue which, when slowly cooked, transforms into tender, melt-in-the-mouth meat full of flavour.

With roots in rural traditions and medieval banquets, pork shank has long been celebrated as a cut that rewards slow cooking. Across Central Europe it has become an iconic speciality: in Germany and Austria, Schweinshaxe is roasted until the skin becomes perfectly crisp and is traditionally served with sauerkraut and beer. In Italy, Fresh Pork Shank is featured in rustic recipes, oven-roasted with potatoes or slowly braised with aromatic herbs and red wine.

Naturally rich in collagen, Fresh Pork Shank is ideal for roasting, braising or slow cooking, developing an exceptionally tender texture and deep, savoury flavour. It pairs perfectly with traditional side dishes such as roasted potatoes, polenta or braised seasonal vegetables.

A timeless cut that continues to delight with its authentic character and unmistakable flavour, Fresh Pork Shank is the perfect choice for those who appreciate the finest traditions of Italian and European cuisine.
