Frozen Suckling Pig Shoulder - Serves 1-2
Item: IP-82
| US Only
Perishable
One of our favorite meals when visiting the ancient city of Segovia is cochinillo. There you can order suckling pig roasted in wood-fired ovens until the golden skin is crisp and the pork is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It is so tender, the server often cuts the cochinillo with a plate.
Now you can serve a shoulder of Ibérico cochinillo at home! Not only is this pork shoulder unbelievably tender, it comes from 100% noble Spanish Ibérico breed, beloved for its mouthwateringly flavorful pork. The pigs are raised on a ranch in Texas with no hormones or antibiotics and are 100% milk fed.
The cochinillo shoulder will arrive frozen and uncooked with its front leg. It is fully cleaned and ready to cook. Before roasting, be sure to slowly thaw the cochinillo in the refrigerator over a day or two. Serves 2 people, or 1 person with a bigger appetite.
