Organic Pork Trotters

Woefully under-rated, organic pork trotters are an old-fashioned favourite that's prized in many cuisines around the world. They're having a slow revival in the UK, but even then they remain very much a marginal cut. Given how thrifty and versatile they are, we think they're definitely worth rediscovering! Packed with gelatin, trotters are meatier than you might think. When slow-cooked they'll yield tender meat, hearty stock and lots of jelly – perfect for use in pies and terrines.  

Pigs grown in an organic system are some of the healthiest you'll find. As they live free-range lives in sociable family groups and enjoy an organic diet, they're untainted by chemicals or growth promoters. Medication is kept to a minimum on organic farms, so can be certain your pork bones come from a pig that's never been routinely dosed with antibiotics. A natural, outdoor lifestyle means our pigs develop robust immune systems, and that benefit is passed to you when you make bone broth. At The Organic Butchery, we believe in using the most sustainable methods possible whilst organically rearing our animals; we aim to use as much of the carcass as possible, to reduce wastage.
