Porchetta  

Background to the “Art of Porchetta”

Like many things Italian, each region of Italy provides its own influence on Porchetta, variations in the recipe are noted from Sardinia, Sicily and Abruzzo. Popular in the whole country, Porchetta originated in central Italy & is considered a celebratory dish with flavour dictated by tradition/province. Across Italy Porchetta is sold daily at markets and supermarkets, especially during public displays or holidays, and it can be served in a panino. It is also eaten as a meat dish in many households or as part of a picnic. Traditionally roasted slowly over a fire pit, until the meat becomes so tender and creamy that it falls off the bone, while the skin remains crisp, herbaceous and salty. 

Our porchetta has already been pre boned, rolled, tied & marinated with our Traditional Italian recipe of Olive Oil, salt and crushed black pepper, Cinnamon powder, crushed, Garlic, Coriander seeds and chopped fresh Rosemary, ready for you to roast.
