Butt Roast (Boston butt / shoulder butt)

The Boston butt is the upper shoulder — a hard-working cut with enough marbling and connective tissue to become extraordinary when cooked slowly. It is the classic cut for pulled pork, braises, carnitas, and long smokehouse afternoons. Mangalitsa makes this roast even more forgiving: the breed was historically raised for its fat, and that fat carries flavour through the whole cook. Put it on low heat and let time do the work. Pasture-raised in Coldstream, with no hormones and no routine antibiotics.
