Saskia Beer Black Pig Range
Thomas Dux Grocer now brings you a new range of artisan charcuterie, Saskia Beer's Black Pig products made from free range, heritage Breed Berkshire Pork - known as "Black Pigs" because of their characteristic black hair.
Berkshire free range pigs are sourced from small free range producers in the Barossa, Light and Southern vales districts of South Australia . Many of the pigs come from a stud farm that has been supplying champion Berkshire genetic to farmers all over the world for over 50 years.
Berkshire pigs have a higher intra muscular fat content and shorter muscle fibres - making them moist and tender. The nature of Berkshire fat is that it is high in essential omega acids and is very firm and there for prized for small goods. It has a very clean taste on the palate and is prized in Italian, Spanish and Japanese cuisines.
All salamis are air dried for a minimum of 3-4 months before release to develop their flavour. The hams, bacon and prosciutto are sugar cured using a recipe passed down through five generations of Barossa small good artisans.
