Traditional Breeds of Pork

Depending on high-quality stock being available from the auction we can get the following traditional breeds of pork.

Tamworth – The meat from the Tamworth is slightly darker than that of other breeds with a firm skin that creates incredible crackling. This full flavour pork has a good level of marbling and fat, which adds an exceptional depth of flavour and succulence.

Saddleback – Saddlebacks are robust full of flavour and like the Tamworth create excellent crackling. The saddleback is a traditional British breed being a cross between the Wessex and Essex pigs. They mature slowly with a higher fat content which keeps the meat moist and succulent.
