Beeler's Pure Pork
Heluka® is derived from the
Native American language meaning "full of sun."
Their pork is given that name because
every pig on Their Heluka® farms is FREE
to go outside at will to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine!
Heluka® pork was developed with two things in mind: the welfare of the pigs and the palates of consumers. To satisfy both, Beeler's have developed their own exclusive Heluka® production model and breed. This system ensures that Beeler's pigs are raised with compassion, and that your dining experience will be exceptional, consistent, wholesome, and safe.

It's best used in cooking, particularly traditional Italian favorites like spaghetti alla carbonara and pasta all'amatriciana, and adds an extra-luxurious texture to sauces and stews.
