  • 100% British pork
  • Fresh, natural product with no additives

Why Pig Caul Is Hard to Find

Pig caul fat is one of those traditional butcher’s cuts that’s quietly disappeared from most high-street counters. It comes from the lining of a pig’s stomach, is delicate to handle, and requires skilled butchery to prepare properly. Many modern suppliers simply don’t bother. We do. Our Pig Caul is sourced from British pork, carefully cleaned, and supplied fresh so chefs and home cooks can work with it exactly as intended.

Best Recipes to Use Pig Caul

Pig caul fat is prized because it melts gently during cooking, basting whatever it wraps without overpowering flavour. It’s the secret behind some of Britain and Europe’s most respected dishes.
• Traditional British faggots
• Game or venison parcels
• Terrines and pâtés
• Stuffed meats and rustic roasts
• Handmade sausages wrapped for moisture and shape

If you’re asking “what is pig caul used for?”—this is it. Structure, juiciness, and flavour in one natural layer.

Pair It With

Pig caul works best when paired with bold, well-seasoned meats and classic techniques. Try it with:
• Pork shoulder, pork mince, or heritage sausages
• Venison, lamb, or game birds
• Aromatics like sage, thyme, garlic, and onion
• Slow roasting, baking, or pan-frying

Used properly, pig caul fat doesn’t sit on the plate—it disappears into the dish, leaving nothing but depth and succulence.
