1. Mix the oil, herbs, fennel pollen, chile pepper, garlic, and 1 tablespoon salt in a bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Wipe off most of the herbs from the fatty part of the pork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set the pork in a roasting pan, fat-side up, and add 1 cup water to the pan. Roast the meat until a rich golden brown, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers between 165 to 170 degrees F, about 3 hours. Remove the roast to a cutting board and let rest at least 15 minutes. Remove the string and slice.
