Native, heritage breeds slow grown on small farms in The Dales, expertly butchered and delivered fresh. Nose-to-tail, nutrient dense and immense flavour.
“This is the only place we can get it and when we order we buy one extra to hand over to our daughter who this week cooked it in her slow cooker with some Puy lentils. A combination which is perfect as both require a long cooking time.”
“Loved it! Cleaner and less processed than the Italian imports I've had up to now. I hope it will continue to be available, as I definitely want it again.
As posted in my Facebook keto forum:

I eschewed the traditional lentil accompaniment, as it would have meant breaking keto. I hope this does not mean that I will be poor this year. It was Jan 2nd, anyway - banish the omens.
This recipe, however, is superb. (Inspiration loosely taken from here: https://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/ricetta/secondi/cotechino-con-zabaione/ .)
I cooked the cotechino for an hour in the Instant Pot, with an onion, celery, rosemary, bay and sage.
The accompaniment is leek, cauliflower, and kale, lightly braised in butter and a little of the cooking stock, and a brilliant savoury sabayon, made with a reduction of ACV, white wine and tarragon, whipped in a double boiler with one egg yolk and one whole egg. (The recipe called for 4 yolks, but I didn't want the waste whites.) As you can see, I whipped it a little too long, and it got a bit scrambled, but still tasted wonderful. Next time that mistake will be easy to avoid, and this recipe is a keeper.”
“We have tried the first of your cotechino and it was really excellent. I come from northern Italy and cotechino is always on our menu. So compared to the ones of our butcher in Asti it was very very good. Will definitely buy again. Thank you Silvana.”
