Winner of a 1-Star Award, Great Taste 2024

Winner of 2 Rosettes at The Charcuterie Board Summer of Charcuterie 2022

The soft, creamy fat from our rare breed pigs is perfectly balanced with black pepper and applewood smoke.  This is a dual purpose product, simply serve the sliced version to enjoy this 'melt in the mouth' cured belly at its best, or add depth and flavour to your cooking with the belly lardons.

Cut Style
More Details

More commonly known as pancetta our bellies are salted and gently smoked.

We are very proud of the high fat to lean ratio which makes the sliced product really melt in your mouth. This is because they come from large, slow growing pigs which adds flavour and is the signature of the SaltPig product range. It can be used like lardo in this respect.

This is a versatile product that's great to use in cooking (any slow cooked stew or casserole will greatly benefit from the rich flavour imparted by it in lardon form) but equally good sliced thin and eaten as part of a cold meat platter.

Ingredients

Rare breed pork belly (150g used per 100g of finished product), sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, preservative: potassium nitrate, antioxidant: ascorbic acid.
