The Mangalitsa Christmas box
Introducing our Mangalitsa Christmas box, a box of carefully selected cuts brought together to help make your Christmas dinner one to remember.
We will be sending our boxes out on the second week of December so that they will be there in good time before Christmas.
At the Woolly Pig Company, we believe that good pork raised to the highest ethical and environmental standards should be celebrated, and what better occasion than with family and friends over the festive period.
With its rich flavours and healthy, soft fats unique to the breed, Mangalitsa pork is a stand out choice for those hearty Christmas dishes. As a forest raised traditional breed the meat is much redder and juicier that you would usually expect with pork and with that comes a delicious slightly beefy flavour to the meat.
Our box is put together so that you can make festive use of every part of the pig. The meat is expertly butchered by our local family butcher J Climie and sons then prepared and packaged by our own Woolly Pig team.
In your box you will find.
- A Large Roasting Joint. The centre piece to your Christmas dinner, a Mangalitsa leg or shoulder roasting joint is packed full of flavour, the soft fats marble through the joint mixing the flavour of the fats and the meat together throughout the cut. A layer of thicker fat on the outside is perfect for crackling and encases a layer of softer, juicier fats. The joint will weigh in between 2.5 kg and 3.5 kg so there will be plenty to go around or even for seconds.
- 2 Packs of Christmas Ham. A favourite of many households over the festive period. Using part of the gigot we leave our ham to soak in a wet cure for several days until it is just right. Apart from the curing process we don't add anything more to the ham and leave it whole so that you can serve it up however you like on the big day.
- 2 Packs of Bacon and Links Sausage. No Christmas meal would be complete without a plate of Pigs in Blankets.
- Sausage Stuffing. Great inside the turkey or on its own as a side dish.
- Chipolata Sausages. Perfect for hors d oeuvres to pass around at a Christmas party
- Pork Ribs. A great lunch or Starter on Christmas day
- Pork Chops. An incredibly versatile cut that can be used in a multitude of ways to give your Christmas dinner your own individual stamp
- Pork Burgers. A great one for the kids table or as an easy meal on the build up to Christmas to give you more time to wrap those presents.
We have put together a list of reason why you should choose to have a Mangalitsa Christmas.
