The Pork ShopFrequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our products, ordering, and what makes The Pork Shop different.
What is Duroc pork?
Duroc is a heritage pig breed known for superior marbling, rich flavor, and excellent fat quality. It's the breed of choice for craft butchers and chefs worldwide.
Where are your pigs raised?
We work with farms in Costa Rica that raise Duroc pigs with proper space, nutrition, and low-stress handling. We know where every animal comes from.
Do you deliver?
Yes, we deliver fresh products across the Central Valley of Costa Rica. Place your order via WhatsApp and we will arrange delivery.
Can I visit your shop?
We operate as a production facility rather than a retail storefront. The best way to get our products is through direct ordering or our retail partners.
Do you offer wholesale pricing?
Yes, we supply restaurants, hotels, and specialty retailers. Contact us via WhatsApp or email for wholesale inquiries and pricing.
Are your sausages gluten-free?
Most of our sausages are naturally gluten-free, made with pure Duroc pork, spices, and natural casings. Please check individual product details or ask us directly.
What makes your bacon different?
Our bacon is dry-cured and smoked in-house using Duroc pork belly. The higher fat quality and careful curing produce a richness and depth that commercial bacon cannot match.
How should I store your products?
Fresh cuts and sausages should be refrigerated and used within a few days, or frozen for longer storage. Cured products like bacon and charcuterie have longer refrigerated shelf life.
