Segovian Suckling Pig Half Carcass
Segovian Suckling Pigs are reared very specifically with the mothers having a special feed, being a specific breed of Pig and the Suckling Pigs being exclusively milk-fed. They are normally no older than three weeks.
The milk feed means the meat is succulent, tender and paler in colour than that of older pigs. When cooked the meat falls off the bone, oozing with delicious flavour. This cut of Segovian Suckling Pig looks so impressive served at a dinner party, with loads of crackling, it is super fun to eat.
For delicious crunchy crackling ensure the meat is dry and covered liberally with salt and a little vegetable oil. Put on a rack in a deep baking tray and cook at 220 for 30 to 40 minutes or until the skin has gone a deep rich golden brown. Reduce the heat to 160 and continue cooking for another 45 minutes to allow all the delicious fat to baste the meat underneath. We love to keep to the Spanish theme by serving it with a butter bean stew and some warm crusty bread, to mop up the juices from the meat and the stew all at the same time.
Cooking Tips For Steaks
- For frozen steaks, thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Bring the steak to room temperature 20 minutes before cooking (time will vary depending on thickness).
- Pat dry
- We don't recommend any seasonning for Japanese Wagyu as well as other Wagyu Beef as all the flavours are in the fat.
- Don't cook Wagyu on a grill as you will loose all the fat.
- Get your skillet smoking hot before putting the steak in.
- Cook the steak on either side for about 2 minutes depending on thickness or until the meat is forming a stunning golden crust to it.
- Except for Japanese Wagyu, half way through cooking, we like basting it with unsalted butter and a few branches of fresh thym.
- Remove from the heat and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes under aluminum foil as it will allow juices to reabsorb into the meat and the fibres to relax. This is where the magic operates.
- Once cooked, you can then season your meat with some Blackthorn Scottish Salt or freshly grinded pepper.

SPAIN
The Iberian Peninsula of Spain, is a land of rich history and stunning natural beauty. Here, amidst rolling hills, ancient forests, and sun-drenched plains, lies the home of the renowned Iberico Pork. In the extensive oak forests, known as “dehesas”, the Pata Negra pigs are allowed to roam freely, feasting on acorns and other natural vegetation, which contributes to the unique flavour and marbling of the meat.
