We had some pork loin at the weekend and it was absolutely fantastic. The meat was dark and bursting with flavour. The skin and fat we grilled separately; it crisped up beatifully and made a delicious guilty mouthful!
We made pancetta and dry cured bacon using belly and loin and fried up a few slices of each for breakfast. Mouth watering and a real gourmet feast between two slices of buttery brown bread!
The sausages were made with just the addition of garlic, salt and pepper. They were heaven on a plate and my friends and family just cant get enough!!
One leg we've salted to make Parma-style ham. And I've no doubt that in 6 months time when we finally unwrap it for a taste test it will be our best yet!
Thanks HellFire Pigs for a great experience of owning our own pig and for the delicious meat that followed; food provenance never tasted so good! We will be back next year, hungry for more!

"We roasted the shoulder very simply for Sunday lunch with a caramelised apple sauce and it was completely delicious - really flavoursome meat and great crackling. We fed eight with enough left overs for a great stir fry the following night.
It's been such a long since we cooked pork because of the difficulty in getting good quality meat that it has been a real treat to have it in the house again.
I would definitely like to order from you again when you next have availability."

"Ate a pork chop, just delicious and sweet and rich, as good as the best rare breed i have eaten. Kidney was gorgeous too. Really worth all your work."
