Berkshire pigs are said to be “Britain’s oldest pig breed”, originally bred in the Faringdon and Wantage regions of the English county of Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). They apparently became popular after being ‘discovered’ by Cromwell’s troops while they were stationed at Reading during the English Civil War. Today’s animals descend from the herd maintained by the House of Windsor 300 years ago
Berkshire pork, prized for juiciness, flavor and tenderness, is pink-hued and heavily marbled. Its high fat content makes it suitable for high-temperature cooking. -Wikipedia
