Pork tenderloin vs. pork loin

Also with similar names, pork tenderloin and pork loin they are not interchangeable. We highly recommend using a pork tenderloin instead of pork loin roast for this recipe for the following reasons:

  • Tenderness – pork tenderloin is softer, more tender and more forgiving if slightly overcooked
  • Faster cooking time – the fillet is smaller and thinner so it is ready in less time. This also results in even cooking.
  • Easier to fill – because it’s smaller, you don’t have to work as hard to get the roast to fly.
