Our Native Breed Pork Essential Cuts bring together the cuts you rely on most, raised slowly and prepared with care. Sourced from native breed pigs that are naturally reared and allowed to thrive, this collection reflects a traditional approach to farming that prioritises welfare, flavour and quality. Growing at a natural pace gives the meat its depth, tenderness and distinctive character. The Essentials range focuses on versatile, dependable cuts, from everyday chops to generous joints and ham, chosen for their adaptability in the kitchen. These are cuts that work just as well for simple midweek meals as they do for more considered cooking at the weekend. Thoughtfully raised and carefully prepared, our native breed pork essentials provide a reliable foundation for nourishing, satisfying dishes and food that brings people together around the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the pork essentials range?
The everyday native breed staples: mince, sausages in several styles, bacon back and streaky, chops, loin steaks, cocktail sausages and beef and pork meatballs.
What can I do with pork mince?
It may be the most versatile mince in the kitchen: meatballs, dumpling and wonton fillings, larb, burgers, or blended with beef for a richer ragù. Native breed pork carries enough fat to keep all of it juicy.
What is in the beef and pork meatballs?
Grass fed beef and native breed pork, handmade. The pork brings fat and sweetness, the beef brings depth, which is the old butcher's logic for mixing the two, and it still holds.
Why does native breed pork taste richer?
Slow growth and intramuscular fat. Traditional breeds put down fat through the meat as they mature outdoors, and fat is where pork keeps its flavour. Modern fast-reared pork never gets the time.
