Buy a pig's head

How is pork head prepared?

Although pork head is considered a lower-quality cut of meat, it is ideal for making a wide variety of sausages and meat products. Simply simmer the pork head gently at a low temperature. This allows you to then cure and debone it. The remaining muscle meat, fat, and rind are known in technical terms as the mask.

You can use this mask, for example, to make pressed head or pork rind. Pressed head is also known as pork rind. To prepare it, cut the warm meat into cubes or shred it. Then season and press it into shape. Alternatively, you can fill it into a casing. When it cools, the liquid gelatin from the head meat solidifies again, creating a firm, delicious sausage. Try it now and buy pork head!

History: Pig's head in the past

In the past, the pig's head was something very special, at least as a showpiece. It was often draped on a display platter at buffets and banquets. For this purpose, the pig's head was first seared until golden brown. Surely you also remember the pictures from the past where the pig's head had an apple in its mouth? That was quite common. Alternatively, lemons or an onion were also often used. Buy a pig's head now!
