Black Pudding, Handmade, Mangalitza Pork, 1kg

Mangalitza Black Pudding 1kg is a 1kg handmade black pudding made from Mangalitza pork. Mangalitza is one of the most exceptional heritage pig breeds in the world.

Furthermore, the handmade production ensures a consistent quality that commercial black pudding simply cannot match.

About Our Artisan Butchery

Mangalitza is one of the most extraordinary pig breeds in the world. It originates from Hungary and Austria, where it has been prized for centuries. In particular, it is known as the Wagyu of pork — a heritage breed with exceptional fat content. Furthermore, the Mangalitza is one of the few remaining lard-type pig breeds. As a result, its fat is exceptionally rich, silky and deeply flavoured — quite unlike the fat of any modern commercial pig. However, what makes Mangalitza truly special is the flavour of the meat itself. It is deep, complex and intensely porky in a way that no modern breed can match. Additionally, the breed’s curly coat and gentle temperament reflect a lifestyle of slow growth. As a result, low stress further contributes to the exceptional eating quality.

Black pudding is one of Britain’s oldest and most misunderstood foods. In particular, it has a rich tradition stretching back centuries in both British and Continental cooking. Furthermore, it is made from blood, fat, oatmeal and spices — simple ingredients that, handled well, produce something extraordinary. As a result, this handmade Mangalitza black pudding uses the finest possible fat. Furthermore, it is seasoned with a traditional blend of spices. Moreover, the result is a black pudding of quite remarkable depth and richness that bears no resemblance to anything commercially produced.

How to Cook & Serve

To get the very best from Mangalitza Black Pudding 1kg:

• Slice into 1cm rounds. Fry in a dry pan over a medium heat for 2 minutes per side. Cook until crisp on the outside.
• However, take care not to overcook — the interior should remain soft and yielding.
• Furthermore, crumble into a pan sauce with apple and cider for an outstanding accompaniment to pork or game.
• Additionally, use as a component in a Scotch egg, a tart filling or a warm salad with poached egg and mustard dressing.

Perfect Pairings

Mangalitza Black Pudding 1kg pairs beautifully with:

• A full English breakfast — black pudding is the component that elevates the rest
• Scallops — the classic fine dining pairing where the sweetness of scallop meets the richness of black pudding
• Apple sauce or a cider and shallot reduction to cut through the richness
• A glass of full-bodied Pinot Noir or a dark, malty ale alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use by the date shown. Sausages also freeze very well — freeze on the day of delivery for best results. Furthermore, they can go straight from frozen into a cold pan over a medium heat. However, allow a few extra minutes cooking time when cooking from frozen. Delivered chilled and ready to cook.

However you serve it, Mangalitza Black Pudding 1kg brings genuine artisan quality to the table. Moreover, once you have tried properly made artisan sausages and burgers, it is very hard to go back to anything mass-produced.
