Whole Roasting Pig Details

Roasting pigs are smaller whole pigs that are ideal for slow roasting on a spit, in a pit, or in an oven. They can also be cut down into various cuts like chops, shoulders, ribs & more. They’re larger & older than suckling pigs, and have a texture & flavor in line with normal pork rather than suckling pigs’ unique, more gelatinous texture & milder flavor.

These pigs are sold gutted with their hair removed, but with the head, skin, and hooves on. They ship frozen, but fresh is available via special order.
