Fresh Pork Chops

Available from the PRIME Butcher Counter at Arkadia Foodstore Gozo

Pork chops are very similar to beef steaks, having some common characteristics. Both are very common and popular with meat lovers. Pork chops are cut from the pig’s loin, a stretch of meat running from the hip to the shoulder which contains the tenderloin. The duration of their required cooking time depends on their thickness but be careful not to overcook them. Grilling, baking, frying, and air frying are all excellent options.
