The pork loin provides us with the greatest variety of cuts of meat.  Pork chops, pork cutlets, and loin roast, to the ever-so-tender pork tenderloin are all cuts you have available to you another wide variety of ideas for meal time at your home.  A variety of roasts are also available including:  rib roast, center loin roast, and boneless sirloin roast. 

As with ribs, there are a huge number of variations on seasoning and preparation.  You can let your imagination take over on how to season both pork chops and tenderloin.  Make sure your meat thermometer reads 160-170 degrees F for food safety.   Both dry heat and moist heat methods of cooking are acceptable for the cuts from the loin because of the very tender nature of the meat.

Canadian-style bacon also comes from the loin, it is closer related to ham than regular bacon. This is fully-cooked, smoked pork loin, the from lean, tender eye of the loin.
