Product reviews for Whole Pork Belly Fresh Portion - 1.5 lbs

A lot more fat than the picture. I ordered two and both are, I guess, 90% fat. Maybe even 95%.  I'm sure it's healthy fat. but I can't use for roast or kabobs or even bacon. Not sure what to use it for except to render for cooking fats.?? Maybe others pieces are better than my two.....

I ordered this a couple of times, because I love some roasted pork belly. Each time, it was almost entirely fat. It was mostly inedible.

I cooked it slow and low for two and a half hours, but couldn't eat it because it was almost entirely fat. Unfortunately, I had to throw it out.

Disappointing due to it being 90% fat. Can't use for Bicol Express stew like I wanted to, ended up rendering it for fat which was good.

This pork belly is amazing!!! First, it came to me in a giant slab, which I LOVE! (Locally, I can only get pork belly in 2" x 6" pieces). Second, the amount of fatty goodness is AWESOME!! I follow a Ketogenic lifestyle and I love the taste of grass fed, grass finished pork! I bake, then broil this pork belly into tender, but crispy loveliness that makes my mouth water just thinking about it!! I save the rendered fat to enhance the flavors of my other meals!! The fat to protein ratio is perfect for me and I can't wait to order more!!!

We loved it! Cooked it sous vide 24 hrs, then smoked over hickory and cherry till amber colored. Refrigerated overnight, sliced thick and quick crisper in a skillet. Perfect! No other having for us!

How is this any good without the skin that becomes crispy after roasting for hours?  Sad.

We tried this for the first time and it was delightful.  The fat is where the flavor is and has a high nutritional value!  It was the perfect amount of meat and fat allowing it to be the savory taste pork belly is meant to be! Ranks right up there next to USWM Rib-eyes.

I've ordered this pork belly twice now, and the first time was great, but this time I was a bit disappointed. There was hardly any meat and I felt as if I was eating just fat. Hopefully the next time there will be more meat.

I've always loved pork belly, but shied away from making it at home. Traditional recipes take a lot of time (6 hours ). Since I've become an Instant Pot devotee, I decided to try my hand at Pork Belly in the Instant Pot.

WOW!  I added 2 ounces of sherry and 1/2 cup bone broth along with some fresh garlic and spices (smoked paprika). I set the time to 80 minutes and the pressure to HIGH.

When the time was just about up, I added a liberal amount of duck fat to a large cast iron pan and put it in a 400 F oven to heat. When the Instant Pot timer went off, I placed the pork belly, fat side down into my preheated duck fat pan and roasted for 30 minutes.

I removed it from the pan, sprinkled with some Maldon sea salt and cut into chunks.

This pork belly was nothing short of perfection - flavorful, tender, fatty and meaty!

Thank you US Wellness Meats!!

I ordered this and it's bigger cousin (the skin-on pork belly). This was very, very fatty. I agree with the other review on this page that it was upwards of 90% fat. There's very little meat to actually cook. I thought maybe this is how US Wellness does their pork belly, but the skin-on pork belly has a much better meat to fat ratio than this.

Overall, I'm kind of disappointed. This would be more appropriately sold as pork tallow of some sorts.

Made chicharrones and our traditional romanian recipe: boiled pork belly with garlic and paprika. To die for!!

I enjoyed this better than the sliced bacon. The slab is thick and nice and fatty. For those upset about the amount of fat, maybe try a different type of meat, like a lean beef. The main reason for eating pork is the fat content, which this has covered. Probably the best product I have tried from this company so far, and a good size to boot.

I love this pork belly. I roast it and save the fat for cooking. This is mostly fat, which is why I use it. When you're eating high fat and moderate protein, this a great addition to any menu!

Absolutely delicious!  Roasted at 250 for 3 hours then quickly broiled to crisp a bit more.  Can't wait to eat my leftovers tonight.  Will definitely be ordering again!
