American Berkshires Berkshires are a true heritage breed with quality pork that has been recognized and prized for over 300 years. They have the oldest recorded purebred swine pedigree history in the U.S., starting in 1875. Their dark heirloom pork, prized internationally by notable chefs for its rich traditional flavor and texture owes its superiority to the constant stewardship of the American Berkshire Association. Consistent qualities that make 100% Pure Berkshire Pork so extraordinary – the incomparable flavor, color and juicy tenderness – are the result of almost four centuries of careful Berkshire breeding. Berkshires produce a whole carcass that is well marbled. When consumers want pork that tastes good the Berkshire above all others is their favorite, not only in the United States but also in the foreign market.
