How To Store

Our Pork Lardons are delivered fresh in an insulated box. They are butchered fresh to order and will arrive with a 15+ days shelf life (including the day of delivery). We recommend for these to be stored below 4 degrees or alternatively, you can pop them in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Our Farms & Suppliers

Our organic pork comes from two partner pig farms, one here in Devon and one in Gloucestershire. Their pigs are outdoors bred and reared, and they spend their whole lives outside the way they should. They come from a British Landrace cross Duroc sow, giving lean meat with defined contrast in the joints so that, we can do everything from our famous Roam & Relish bacon from the flavour-rich belly to a pull-apart, slow-cooked shoulder joint. The pigs are free to roam, wander, and forage as much as they please and are given organic feed to get those vital vitamins and minerals they can’t find from the ground. In the summer they wallow in cool mud baths and in the winter, they can snuggle up in deep beds of fresh straw. Unlike intensive farms, their tails and teeth are left unharmed. Animal welfare is at the heart of everything we stand for and these pigs lead a natural and happy life. Every cut is hand-finished, cooked with carefully selected cures, and butchered using traditional methods. From bacon to slow-roasting joints, chops, and sausages, we’re proud of our organic pork.
