DISTINCTIVE QUALITIES: Cochinillo asado, or roast suckling pig, is a Spanish delicacy that originated in Segovia, Spain. The delicate pork is so tender that it actually falls gently off the bone when cooked. This roasted suckling pig is served whole and is sure to impress guests at any dinner party.
Cochinillo is uniquely tender due to the young age of the pig. Much like , the succulence is directly related to the age of the animal. Our imported suckling pigs are authentically sourced from Segovia, Spain.
All of our suckling pigs are raised on a diet exclusively of milk. Cochinillo asado is surprisingly easy to prepare. Roasted in a special earthenware dish, the meat is so succulent that, in an effort to showcase its tenderness, chefs use the edge of a dinner plate instead of a knife, to cut and serve the pig.
