Pork belly is best slow roasted or braised. It was wildly fashionable in the 90s but hasn't been favoured for a while. Shame, because it's melt-in-your-mouth delicious. This product is fresh.
Try this recipe for Wendy's Roast Pork Belly from our book, The Ethical Omnivore. You get fabulous crackling. Or, make Bossam, a lovely way to enjoy belly in summer.
The Producers
We buy whole bodies of a range of different sized pigs on a rotating basis from a number of farms - from big baconers through to suckling pigs. Most available cuts come from porker pigs which are about 50-65 kg that are 5-7 months old. The pork we source is:
- packed with the farm and breed clearly labelled;
- hormone and antibiotic-free;
- entirely free ranging on chemical-free pasture;
- a mix of breeds including Berkshire, Landrace, Large White, English Large Black, Duroc, Wessex Saddleback and Tamworth;
- from NSW farms.
The producers we work with are entirely transparent about their processes and welcome all questions.
At Feather and Bone, we have been committed to providing the finest organic, pasture-fed, and sustainable meat and poultry since 2006.
