Organic Shoulder of Pork
A cracking good joint for a family roast night. 2021 Award Winner!
If you're looking for a really traditional roasting joint for an all-the-trimmings Sunday lunch, you can't go wrong with a The Organic Butchery shoulder of pork. The collection of hard-working muscles from the shoulder of the pork carcass need a fairly slow cook, but you'll be rewarded by real depth of flavour from the delicately marbled meat, coupled with beautiful tender texture and delicious, crunchy crackling. Our butchers have removed the bone from this joint and added a layer of fat and skin, before securely tying it up.
Pigs are famously intelligent creatures. They're playful, inquisitive, sociable and quite often stubborn. Because they're natural foragers they can thrive in most habitats where grass, leaves, roots, fruit and nuts are available. As omnivores, they also enjoy digging up worms and insects with which to supplement their diet. As it's such a core instinct to pigs, we think they should have the freedom to rootle to their heart's content. That's why we rear our pigs in an organic, sustainable system that allows them to live outdoors, following their instincts and behaving in a generally piggy manner.
Minimum Shelf Life: 8 Days

Getting the crackling just right on a pork joint can feel like the Holy Grail of Sunday lunch. There are lots of secret techniques and magic tricks that apparently yield up the perfect results, but if you don't have the right raw materials to begin with you'll never get it just right. Pigs that live outdoors necessarily have thicker skins than pigs that spend their lives in barns, out of the sun. All of The Organic Butchery's pork comes from outdoor-reared pigs that range freely with plenty of space to be active and sociable. As they don't have fur or fleece – just thin, wiry hair – our pigs grow thick skins to keep themselves warm. And that's what makes the very best crackling.

For a classic roast shoulder of pork, put the joint into an oven pre-heated to 220˚C and let it sizzle for 30 minutes. After that time, turn the heat down to 180˚C and roast for a further two hours until the skin is crisp and the meat it tender and juicy. Take off the crackling and allow the joint to rest for at least fifteen minutes. If the skin could do with being crisper, pop it under a hot grill for a couple of minutes for crunchy, brittle crackling.
