Pork tenderloin is a small, lean, and tender cut from a pig that is often reserved for special occasions due to its price range of $10 to $25.
The tenderness of pork tenderloin comes from the limited muscle use by the pig, making it the softest cut, though it's generally quite lean.
Specialty pork tenderloins, like those from Iberian pigs that are well-fed and allowed to roam, can cost upwards of $35 due to their premium quality.
With only two tenderloins available per animal, the cost of feeding a larger number of people can quickly accumulate, making it a luxury purchase.
