Product description
⭐ great taste® 2023
With its roots in Italian culinary traditions, namely the central Italian region of Lazio (although popular across the whole of Italy), Porchetta is a wonderfully flavoursome roasting joint with a distinct celebratory feel.
Pork* loin is prepared boneless leaving enough of the belly to roll around the eye of the loin - the belly providing both protection to the leaner loin within and ample fat to melt and baste the joint internally. The wonderfully tender meat within is surrounded by crisp skin, our dry-aged pork producing particularly outstanding crackling. We give a nod to the Italian origins of the dish with a delicious stuffing of minced pork laced with fennel seeds, garlic and red wine - this would be a wonderful centrepiece for Sunday lunch or the Christmas table.
great taste® commented:
"The crackling on this striking joint caught the judges' eye and delivered a memorable crunch. The meat was tender and we enjoyed the prominent notes of herbs, in particular tarragon. There was a notable pork flavour that gave it character...a handsome joint with magnificent crackling and an enticing garlic-noted aroma...the combination of pork with crackling and herbing was certainly pleasing."
*Tamworth and Middle White pigs are reared outside where they can root around, wallow and exhibit all of their instinctive behaviours. They're matured at their own pace which enables the fat to naturally marble the meat, and gives the pork a superior texture. To maximise the naturally occurring flavour, all our native breed pork is dry-aged on the bone for 3-weeks in our Himalayan salt chamber; this further enhances the rich and distinctive flavour. Porchetta is Always Fresh Never Frozen®, butchered to order, vacuum packed, and shipped in recyclable packaging to arrive safely insulated and ready to enjoy.
