What is "pork loin"?
Pork loin is a versatile and flavorful cut of meat taken from the back of the pig, running along the spine. It is prized for its lean and tender texture, with a relatively mild flavor compared to other cuts of pork. Pork loin can be found bone-in or boneless and can be further divided into various sub-cuts such as loin chops, center-cut roasts, and tenderloins. It is commonly prepared using dry-heat cooking methods such as roasting, grilling, or pan-searing, often seasoned with herbs, spices, or marinades to enhance its flavor.
