Del Real Foods Pork Carnitas, 2 x 20 oz
Slow-cooked pork carnitas with a rich, authentic Mexican-style flavor. Tender, juicy texture ready to crisp or heat. Fully cooked for quick preparation. Large 40-oz package ideal for tacos, burritos, bowls, and family meals.
Del Real Foods Carnitas (40 oz) are prepared using a traditional, slow-cooked approach with a short, savory ingredient profile. The primary ingredient is pork, which is seasoned and cooked until tender to deliver the carnitas’ rich, shredded texture. Pork broth and water are used during cooking to retain moisture and enhance depth of flavor.
Seasoning is built with salt, garlic, and spices, giving the pork its classic, well-rounded taste without excessive heat. Citrus components, such as orange or lemon juice, may be included to add brightness and balance the richness of the meat. Small amounts of natural flavors are used to maintain consistency, resulting in a fully cooked, ready-to-heat carnitas with a clean, authentic flavor profile.
