The pork loin roast is a long, lean cut running along the back of the pig. It is mild in flavor with a tender texture when not overcooked. Because of its low fat content it can dry out quickly, making it best suited to roasting at moderate temperature or brining before cooking. It is often sold boneless or bone-in and is a classic Sunday roast cut.
