Salt Pork is a slab of pork that is almost entirely fat. The fat is cured in salt, and not smoked. It is not used as a meat in itself. It is used instead small chunks to provide flavour and mouth feel to recipes. Salt Pork may come from the back, the belly or either side of the back of the pig. Occasionally it may have a streak or two of lean meat in it, particularly if it is cut from the belly of the pig. Sometimes it may have rind with hairs on it.
