Whole Suckling Pig, 4-5 Kg, Traditional Spanish Cochinillo, Free Range, Frozen Reviews

4.9 Rating 322 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

When it comes to roast whole suckling pig, there is no finer meat in the world than the traditional Spanish Cochinillo. The soft and tender meat literally melts in the mouth whilst the crispy crackling will delight the senses with every forkful of this incredible delicacy. Unlike many of the commercially reared animals that you will find elsewhere, our whole suckling pigs are always kept with their mothers up to a maximum of 21 days. This is the only farming method that stays true to the traditional practices from which the name suckling pig was derived. Keeping things natural also delivers meat with the finest flavour and texture. Each one will arrive at your door ready to roast in the oven, allowing you to relax and look forward to the feast ahead. You will receive one frozen whole suckling pig, delivered on ice pads.

Delivery booked for a specific date - arrived as requested, no problems. Quality of product was outstanding - defrosted for 2 days, laid flat and trussed thd legs slightly, then roasted at 180c for 2.5 hours, back down for the first half, turned half way. Light and crisp crackling, meltingly tender meat and sweet, ouzing fat. Would have comfortably fed 8 people. Absolutely brilliant.

Good size, great communication from the team as there was a slight delay with Christmas but received the product with plenty of time to spare and had a wonderful Christmas lunch. The quality of the product was very good will definitely purchase again!

As usual with Basco, exceptional quality with unequalled taste. Ideal for a medium family or for a gathering of fine diners. Delivery was updated regularly, especially at a time of year, when you have a full itinerary and you are prioritising your schedule. This is my second year with Basco and it will certainly not be the last. I am now ready to sample more exquisite and exciting things from the range.

I ordered a suckling pig for Xmas and problems arose when DPD misdirected my order. Contacted Customer Service at BASCO and they were excellent, I cannot fault their service in anyway. Things can go wrong occasionally, that’s the nature of things but to me it’s the way that they are handled that is important. BASCO certainly deserve their 5 star rating for that and if the pig is as good as their service we’re in for a treat!!
