Rich. Hearty. Full of Traditional Flavor.
 
Discover the deep, comforting flavor of Pleiades Ranch Oasis Premium Meishan Fresh Ham Hocks, a classic cut treasured by home cooks and chefs alike. Harvested from our heritage Meishan hogs, these fresh ham hocks are richly marbled and naturally packed with collagen, creating exceptional flavor and tenderness when slow-cooked.
 
Unlike cured ham hocks, our fresh ham hocks offer a pure pork flavor that serves as the perfect foundation for soups, beans, greens, stews, stocks, and slow-cooked family recipes. As they cook, they release rich flavor and natural gelatin that enhances every dish with depth and body.
Raised on pasture and carefully stewarded from birth to harvest, our Meishan pork is known for its superior marbling, exceptional tenderness, and old-fashioned farm-raised flavor.
