TBC The Whole Pig with Matthew Evans and James Mele: A two day hands on pork workshop. July 2020

Saturday July 25 - Sunday July 26

The transformation of pork is miraculous. Sweet fresh leg meat can become fragrant prosciutto given salt and time. Minced shoulder cures into mouthwatering salami. Middles can become luscious smoky bacon, delicately spiced pancetta, or complex tasting lonzo. Join us on a two day workshop exploring the art and alchemy of pork butchery. This event is sold out. Please email Zara@fatpig.farm if you would like to go on the waiting list. This will also ensure that you are the first to know about future Whole Pig workshops.
