WHAT IS OUR OVEN READY SUCKLING PIG?
Our ready to cook suckling pig quarter is a convenience solution, consisting of a traditional quarter of Spanish cochinillo from Segovia, that you can cook in just 2 hours inside a thermoresistant plastic bag, preserving all the properties, flavour, freshness, juiciness and avoiding the hassle of preparing and knowing how to cook a suckling pig, plus there is no oven cleaning afterwards!
Unlike many commercially reared pigs, our piglets remain with their mothers for up to 21 days where they are entirely milk fed. This produces meat with the finest texture and flavour, meat of incomparable flavour and succulence with melt-in-the-mouth crackling. Our oven ready suckling pig quarter is 2 star Great Taste Award winner in 2017.
