Quite simply, there is no finer pig than this ‘London porker’. For a true pork flavour and crackling to depend upon, the Middle White never fails to impress.

Description
Belly is where the Middle White really shines. Layers of sweet meat and rich fat render down over a long, slow roast into something meltingly soft, under a sheet of crackling that shatters when you cut it. It’s the cut chefs fight over, and once you’ve cooked it, you’ll understand why.
Our pigs are reared slowly on the farm, in family groups, and the fat they carry is what makes this joint so special. Hung for 7 to 12 days and prepared by hand in our own butchery.
Portion guide
1kg serves four – a slow-roast supper.
2kg serves eight – for a gathering.
800g or 1.6kg boned & rolled – serves four or eight, as the flat joints.
Weights are minimum weights, so your joint may be a little heavier but never lighter, and you won’t pay for the difference. For the barbecue or the grill, try our Middle White Belly Strips.
Allergens: None
Cooking guide
Score the skin, season generously the night before and leave uncovered in the fridge. Sear hard, skin side down, before turning over and giving it several hours at a lower heat: around 2½ hours at 160°C.
Turn the oven up to 220°C for the last twenty minutes to finish the crackling. The fat will render into silk and the flavour speaks for itself.
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.
