What is pork belly?
Pork belly is the cut from (unsurprisingly) the belly of the pig that remains after the loin and spare ribs are removed. Fresh pork belly is succulent and richly flavourful thanks to its high fat content. It if often sold in rashers or in a piece, with or without rind or bone. It can be roasted whole and is often served in small portions, such as pork belly bites. Find delicious pork belly recipes below.
