Unsmoked cured hock, also known as pig’s knuckle, comes from the lower back leg of the pig, above the trotter. They are often eaten whole in Eastern Europe, though we normally prefer to use them as a base for soups, sauces and stews.

Cooking Instructions

Cooking Instructions
Preparation: Rinse the gammon hock under cold water to remove excess curing salts.
Boiling Method:
Place the hock in a large pot and cover with water.
Add aromatics like onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves, and peppercorns for enhanced flavour.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 2–3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
Roasting Method (Optional):
After boiling, remove the hock and score the fat layer.
Glaze with honey or mustard, then roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6) for 15–20 minutes until caramelised.
Serving: Rest for 5–10 minutes before carving or shredding for your desired dish.

Storage Instructions

Shelf Life: 5 Days from date of delivery

While we’d be surprised if you could resist the temptation to enjoy immediately, please keep refridgerated unless you intend to eat it right away! Otherwise all our quality meat is suitable for freezing to preserve its taste and texture, meaning you can cook and serve it when you fancy. Once it’s been frozen, please thaw your meat slowly and thoroughly, ideally in the fridge overnight. We vacuum-pack our meat to naturally extend its freshness and make it suitable for home-freezing.

Packaging

This pack contains 1 piece. Your item will arrive in a 100% recycled box lovingly packed with FSC-certified shredded spruce from Britain and Sweden, natural sheep’s wool insulation and non-toxic chilled gel packs, all of which can be reused, composted or recycled. To recycle the gel packs, simply cut a corner and dispose of the contents through your normal domestic waste system, as the gel isn’t harmful to the environment. Better still, reuse them by storing in the freezer and chilling other products. The only component from our packaging that can’t be recycled are the foil liners which need to be go in household waste; the poly bags meat comes in in need to go in plastic recycling.
