The secret of a truly delectable cochinillo lies in the preparation. Each carefully selected piglet is thoroughly cleaned and trimmed before being marinated in a special mix of olive oil, herbs, and spices. It is then slow-roasted in a custom-made brick oven for hours, where it is cooked in its natural juices and acquires a smokiness only possible from roasting over wood and coal.
A LONG-STANDING TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE
Referenced by Ernest Hemingway in his novel, “The Sun Also Rises,” cochinillo has been a much sought after delicacy in Spain since the 18th century. The Spanish tradition of slow-roasting over a wood fire in brick ovens comes alive in Mr. Cochinillo’s kitchen. His cochinillo is a product of a technique perfected by years of culinary testing, continuous practice towards perfection, and dedication to fine quality.
DILIGENTLY RAISED WITH PERSONAL CARE BY LOCAL FARMERS
