Product description

Traditional Porchetta – Heritage Breed Pork, Dry-Aged for Superior Flavour
Porchetta, or porquette in France, is a richly flavoured, celebratory roasting joint with deep culinary roots in Italian cuisine. This iconic dish is often enjoyed as a centrepiece roast or sliced into porchetta sandwiches, a popular street food across Lazio and Tuscany. Traditionally sold from white vans at festivals and public events, porchetta is a true feast, synonymous with gatherings and indulgent meals.

Our native breed pork porchetta is made by wrapping a boneless pork loin with just enough pork belly to encase the joint. The marbled belly protects the lean loin, allowing the fat to render and baste the meat as it roasts, resulting in succulent, flavourful pork with the crispiest crackling.

We honour authentic Italian techniques, rolling our porchetta with a classic stuffing of minced pork, fennel seeds, garlic, and red wine. Dry-aged for enhanced depth of flavour, our outdoor-reared, heritage breed pork elevates this traditional dish to another level.

Perfect for Sunday roasts, festive occasions, or serving sliced in a fresh ciabatta with salsa verde, this flavoursome porchetta is an essential for those who appreciate exceptional pork.

⭐ great taste® 2023 Judges' Comments
"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."

Background

Heritage Breed Porchetta – Traditional Italian Roast, Rich in Flavour
Our Tamworth and Middle White pigs are outdoor-reared, free to root, wallow, and exhibit their natural behaviours. This slow-growing process allows them to develop naturally marbled pork with a superior texture and depth of flavour, making it ideal for porchetta roasting joints. To further enhance its rich, distinctive taste, all our native breed pork is dry-aged on the bone for three weeks in our Himalayan salt chamber, intensifying its succulence and umami.
