WHAT IS SUCKLING PIG? Our Suckling Pigs come from Segovia, the heart of traditional suckling pig production. Unlike many commercially reared pigs, our piglets remain with their mothers for up to 21 days where they are entirely milk fed. This produces meat with the finest texture and flavour, meat of incomparable flavour and succulence with melt-in-the-mouth crackling. Our pigs carry the 'Cochinillo de Segovia' seal of approval which guarantees you’re getting the real deal in terms of origin, birth and breeding method. WHAT CUT IS THE SUCKLING PIG RACK? The rack is the best-end including the loin and ribs, excluding the legs. HOW DO I COOK A SUCKLING PIG RACK? Suckling pig rack can be roasted, grilled or barbecued. To roast place skin side down in a pre-heated oven 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 for 30mins and then turn so that the rack is skin side up for a further 30mins until the skin is a wonderful, thin crisp. HOW WILL I RECIEVE MY SUCKLING PIG RACK? You will receive one frozen vac pac of suckling pig rack delivered on ice pads. If you are not using the suckling pig straight away, store in the freezer. If you are, then you will need to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking. PLEASE NOTE THAT WEIGHTS CAN VARY FROM SUCKLING PIG RACK TO SUCKLING PIG RACK, SO EXPECT A SLIGHT VARIATION ON THE THE WEIGHT OF YOUR SUCKLING PIG RACK.

Father always returns from Mallorca raving about their suckling pig so was very excited to have it in the UK. They were worried about how to cook it (apparently came without instructions) but I looked up a simple recipe on the website and sent it to them. Said it was absolutely delicious, and plenty of meat.

Quite delicious. Stronger pork flavour than I had expected and melted in the mouth. Would definitely have this again.

Eating it was like sitting in restaurant in Plaza Mayor in Segovia. The cochinillo melts in your mouth. The authentic taste of Spain

Package arrived 80% defrosted and under weight marked as .6kg. When it should have been at least .7kg. On a per kilo basis this is expensive. I have been a regular customer for a number of years and this is the first time I have had to report an issue. I trust this will not happen again.

Good afternoon Victor, Thank you for taking the time to write this review of Basco Fine Foods, we know your a valued regular customer of ours and I'm very sorry on behalf our Basco family to have let you down with your products being defrosted which I'm sure you will agree is not the usually high standard you and other customers associate ourselves with! I will message you tomorrow morning first thing to arrange another delivery if not already completed by my dedicated customer service team. I can assure you this will not happen again and we appreciate your patience and understanding. Kind regards Miles

Delicious, sweet meat and the BEST crackling ever. I followed the cooking instructions provided and it was perfect. So good I instantly ordered more. Really useful to have in the freezer in case people turn up unexpectedly, or just as a treat.

Follow the recipe exactly and you cannot go wrong. It's truly delicious! A little advice on best carving technique would be useful to me but that in no way detracts from the whole experience.
