Not all steaks are loin.some are collarcollar.
Often there is on or two loin steals with collar steaks underneith Loin steaks are like the picture above but we are being cheated with the cheaper collar steaks hidden below.
Too much fat, they don't match the picture.
Too much fat, both on the edge and running through the chops. The steaks do not look like the picture which has well trimmed solid steaks. Improve your quality please, I don't want to pay for a load of fat.
Delicious for the money
Excellent product for the money. Yes, go to your local butchers and you will get a finer quality, thicker cut of meat for sure, but then you will pay a finer price for it too. These make great mid-week meals served up with caramelised red onions with rice and broccoli. Ps. nothing wrong with a bit of fat by the way, thats where the flavour is. All in moderation!
Would you like some pork with your fat?
Came in an online delivery, probably more than half of it was fat, ended up with the equivalent of about one piece after cutting it all off. Really poor.
Back to Tesco Finest.
It's a rare day I don't finish a meal, even rarer when I bin it which I did this evening. These pieces of pork were nearly all fat with a little gristle thrown it. Tasting a small piece of the sickly meat upset me with the end result the whole meal was thrown away. I had to clean my teeth to try to get the taste out of my mouth. Back to Tesco Finest. You get what you pay for.. p.s. i am generally not a complainer..
Arrived to the same day so sent back

NOT trusted farmers
How can these be from 'trusted farmers'? The pigs are raised in Holland and then transported to Germany to be slaughtered. I am am particularly angry as when I placed my order for British bred and slaughtered pigs I indicated that substitutes could be provided with the note that ONLY British bred and slaughtered. This I felt gave a degree of certainty regards animal welfare. Incidentally I am in the vulnerable category re Covid so someone else was collecting my 'click and collect' and would not have realised my note.
WELL WORTH BUYING
Excellent quality. Thick cut with a small bone they roasted beautifully and didn't shrink at all
Variable standard. Safer to go for the finest.
These are OK if you go in the shop and choose the pack yourself, but buying online is risky because the quality varies from pack to pack, as you can see from the other reviews. You might just be lucky sometimes, though When shopping online, I prefer to go for two packs of 2, and choose the finest, which does of course work out more expensive, but you don't get what you don't pay for, ie the best, any other reliable way.
Nastiness Hidden by Label (Again)
The usual nasty trick of showing two nice chops with the label hiding two really nasty bits of scrag. The proper two cooked and tasted OK, but the others weren't even worth cooking. Price therefore, is double that stated. Nasty tactics, should be illegal.
