Porchetta Roast

This porchetta, crafted from Newman Farm’s luscious Berkshire pork by their friend Antonio Fiasche at Tempesta Artisans, is a perfect example of a true classic Italian porchetta. Unlike many porchettas today, this one is made using the full 30lb pork middle. Every bite is an intense, joyous, culinary treat.

As an oven-ready centerpiece, this roast is both elegant and rustic, an epiphany of old-world technique: skin-on belly wrapped around a boneless center-cut loin roast, generously seasoned throughout. A true porchetta like this contains several cuts, from the tender rib meat to the perfectly marbled loin to the fatty belly. The crispy skin is like pork candy, sticky and sweet like toffee and – be warned – it is absolutely habit forming!

Patrick Martins founded Heritage Foods in 2001 to preserve endangered species of livestock from extinction. These species were the foundation of our food supply for 5,000 years, yet they receive almost no attention. Today, Heritage Foods supports over fifty family farms that raise Heritage breeds – the very foundation of our agricultural history and gastronomic identity. These animals are raised humanely, outdoors, on pasture, using traditional farming techniques. The result is the world’s best-tasting, highest-quality meat – more marbled and boasting a far more profound taste and depth of flavor than what you’ll find at the supermarket. This is what meat used to taste like, and what it’s supposed to taste like, and with one bite you’ll understand the difference!
