Classic Lomo

Classic Lomo

Meet/meat our British lomo, a match made in heaven between the lean meat and silky fat of heritage breed pork. So close in hue to pink fizz that you feel compelled to put them together. In English, we've borrowed from the Spanish name of lomo artisanal, the hand-crafted and cured (curado) pork tenderloin that's known in Italy as lonzino.

 

The Makers' Inspiration

Founder Alex says that lomo was the second thing he ever cured, years and years ago back in Preston. We 're inspired visually by the contrast of curing spices against the creamy lomo fat, which never ceases to please.

 

How We Make It

Premium loin cuts are taken from heritage breed pork, then shaped to ensure a luxurious and even amount of back fat is retained. Not for us, the overly lean lomo. Herbs and spices are brought forth, it is cured, dried for months, and then sliced so thinly we can see through it. Differing from the Spanish lomo embuchado in that this isn't stuffed into a casing and smoked, but instead wrapped and air-dried for a delicate texture and pure flavour.

 

Tasting Notes

If tender, delicately flavoured charcuterie is your thing, then right this way, meet our air-dried pork loin. Based on lomo and lonzino recipes from Spain and Italy, our air-dried pork loin is unsmoked, light and elegant. It can be wrapped around skewered canapes, enjoyed alone, or say, with quince, or nibbled as part of a charcuterie board.
