[Today's New Products] "Restaurant-Quality, Crispy Outside and Tender Inside"... Pulmuone's 'Tenderloin Tonkatsu'

100% Domestic Pork Tenderloin

Pulmuone Foods has introduced premium frozen pork cutlets made with 100% domestic pork tenderloin, with a tender interior and a crispy exterior.

Pulmuone Foods announced on Oct. 27 that it had launched Tenderloin Tonkatsu and Tenderloin Cheese Tonkatsu. The company said the new products are restaurant-quality convenience meals that stand out for everything from their ingredients to their breading.

The frozen pork cutlet market has grown steadily on the back of increased demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, but growth has slowed recently as the market has entered a mature phase. Consumers have cited the lack of differentiation among products as a source of dissatisfaction, particularly because most products on the market use similar cuts of pork.

Pulmuone Tenderloin Tonkatsu is made with 100% domestic pork tenderloin to achieve a tender, moist texture. A cut that comes from a part of the pig that moves relatively little, tenderloin is especially valued for its tenderness and well-defined grain. The product also uses fresh, coarse-grain Air Crispy breadcrumbs. The large breadcrumbs create air pockets between them, helping keep the coating from turning soggy.

A Pulmuone Foods official said, "With this new product, we focused on offering consumers a new culinary experience by enhancing the overall quality, from the ingredients to the texture. We will continue to introduce products with restaurant-quality flavor and texture, opening up the premium segment of the frozen pork cutlet market and strengthening our product competitiveness."
