Pig's Trotter

Pork

£2.95

One of the most traditional cuts in British butchery, pig’s trotters are prized not for the quantity of meat they contain, but for their exceptional gelatin and collagen content. During slow cooking, these gradually break down, adding body, richness and texture to stocks, sauces and braises.

Our free-range pork comes from Hampshire cross Duroc and Large White pigs reared outdoors in Suffolk and on the South Downs. These breeds are selected for their excellent flavour and eating quality throughout the carcass.

Ideal for stocks, broths and slow-cooked dishes, trotters are often used to enrich cooking liquors and sauces. They can also be braised whole, where the small amount of meat becomes tender and richly flavoured.

Each trotter weighs approximately 300g.

Our main pig breed is a Hampshire cross Duroc. These pigs are crossed due to their ability to withstand the British weather, but also for their fat covering and tender meat-eating qualities.

The pigs are free-range and are born and spend their whole lives outside, overlooking the South Downs and the Brighton coastline. They are fed on a natural diet, free of growth promotors or growth hormones, that consists primarily of cereal (wheat and barley), with minerals and vitamins making up the rest.
