How Long Can Pork be Stored in the Freezer for?

How long it can pork stay frozen in the freezer for, depends on the temperature and storage method.

Most freezers have a temperature regulator, which we can set the temperature with from 0 to -24 degrees. For example, in a freezer with a temperature of 0 to -6°C pork can be left for 2-3 days, if it is pork fillet and if it is a piece of meat with bone, the period will be reduced to 24-48 hours.

At a temperature of -6 to -12°C fillets, large pieces or smaller portions of meat will be preserved for 4 months.

Pork shank or pork shoulder will not lose their taste and quality within six months if the freezer is maintained at -18°C.

At a temperature of -18 to -24°C fillet or a large piece of meat can be stored for at least 18 months, but their structure may change during the long-term storage of pork in the freezer.

The meat cannot be left in the freezer for too long. Over time, the fibers lose their useful molecular compounds.

Pork can be stored at -18°C for up to 8 months with skin and up to 6 months without skin and if the temperature is -24, the time is extended to 1 year.

With defrosted meat you can traditionally prepare pork kebab, pork with cabbage or some homemade pork soup.
