Fresh & Freezable

What is the difference between the front and back of the pig's leg?

Although smaller than the back, it offers the same quality of gelatin. It is more manageable for home use or individual portions. It is delivered dehaired and clean. It is an excellent choice for soups and stews, as well as a popular natural bone (raw or smoked) for dogs.

Does the Pig's Foot need to be rinsed before boiling?

Although it is delivered clean, we always recommend a brief rinse or blanch for a few minutes before the main boil. This helps to remove any natural liquids from the packaging and “cleans up” the flavour, ensuring that the final stock will be clear and free of haze, which is particularly important for making high-quality stock.

Is it suitable for a natural dog bone?

The front leg has a dual purpose. It is excellent for soups, but also very popular as a natural “toy” for dogs. It is offered raw or smoked and is a safe, natural source of calcium. Its hardness satisfies the dog’s need to chew, helping to relieve and maintain dental hygiene, making it a product with steady demand in Pet Shops.
