Berkshire – a specialist pork producing breed originating from wantage. The flavour is light and delicate and well worth looking out for.

British lop – the rarest of all pig breeds. The lop originated in the Devon Cornwall area. Can be used for pork & bacon production. The meat is high in quality, succulent with good flavour.

British Saddleback – the black pig with the white saddle around the shoulders. The skin is mostly black and the meat is top quality and full – flavoured.

Gloucestershire Old Spot – an old breed from the vale of the river Severn, they were traditionally kept in orchards so the local folklore has it that the spots were bruises caused by windfall fruit. The meat is well marbled, sweet and delicious, whether as pork or bacon. And is how traditional pork should be.

Tamworth – this ginger coloured pig originated in the midlands and is usually considered as a bacon producer but pork from this breed is well worth looking out for with its full flavour and high eating qualities.

 

"For the public to appreciate how wonderful and different ‘real meat tastes, it is vital that the rare breeds survival trust receives all the support it can from everyone who cares about ‘real` farming."
