Buy a pig's head

Although pork head is one of the lower quality cuts of meat, it is ideal for making a wide variety of sausages and meat products. Simply boil the pork head gently at a low temperature. This means you can then cure it and debone it. The remaining muscle meat, fat and rind are also known in technical terms as the mask.

You can use this mask, for example, to make pressed head or pork rind. The pressed head is also known as fromage de tête. To prepare it, cut the meat into cubes while it is still warm or tear it apart. Then season it and press it into shape. Alternatively, you can fill it into a casing. When it cools, the liquid gelatine from the head meat solidifies again and you get a firm, tasty sausage. Try it now and buy a pork head!

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. To do this, the pig's head was first fried until golden brown. You probably also remember the pictures from the past where the pig's head has an apple in its mouth? That was quite common. Alternatively, lemons or an onion were also used. Buy a pig's head now!
