Description
Shoulder is the cook’s cut: marbled with fat and connective tissue that melt over a long, slow roast, leaving meat so tender it pulls apart with a fork. On the bone it has even more flavour, and the skin crackles into a crisp, golden shell. Slow-roasted for a Sunday, or cooked low overnight for pulled pork, it’s very hard to get wrong.
The Middle White’s rich fat is what makes it such a good shoulder: it bastes the meat for hours and keeps every strand succulent. Our pigs are reared slowly on the farm, hung for 7 to 12 days and butchered on site.
Portion guide
1.5kg serves four to five – a slow Sunday roast.
3kg serves eight to ten – for pulled pork for a crowd.
Weights are minimum weights, so your joint may be a little heavier but never lighter, and you won’t pay for the difference.
Allergens: None
Cooking guide
Dry the skin, score it and rub with salt. Give it a hot start at 220°C for thirty minutes to set the crackling.
Then turn the oven down to 150°C and slow-roast for four to five hours, until the meat pulls easily from the bone. For pulled pork, keep going until it reads around 90°C at the centre.
Rest for twenty minutes, then pull or carve. If the crackling needs a little more, crisp it under a hot grill while the meat rests.
Storage and freezing
Always prepared to order and delivered chilled, in insulated packaging. All our meat is fresh, never frozen, so if you’re not ready to serve, you can freeze on arrival. Alternatively, follow the use by dates and keep in the fridge before cooking. And don’t worry if you won’t be in for the delivery – our packaging means your order will stay in peak condition for up to 12 hours.
