French trimmed loin of pork is a great option for those looking for a lean but full flavoured roasting joint, the addition of the trimmed rib bones adds an extra depth of flavour and helps to keep the joint a little more moist during cooking.
Our free-roaming pigs have rootled and foraged in the rewilding project all their lives and put down a thick layer of fat after hoovering up acorns from our ancient oaks in the autumn. This layer of fat helps keep the meat moist and gives it a spectacular, nutty flavour.
Massage plenty of salt into the skin for great crackling.
Preheat your oven to 220C/gas mark 7. Start by putting the joint in for 25 minutes, then turn the oven down to 180C/Gas 4 and allow approximately 25-30 minutes of roasting per 500g of raw meat.
