La Boqueria Tocino Salado (approx 1kg)

Back fat has gone through a change in the last years. The drive to have leaner and cleaner food has made the breeders produce a lean pig. All well and done, but somethings have suffered. The Tocino that was the ultimate indulgence, has now slimmed down. Only the charcutiers that have no issues with protein glues, produce a tall thick salted backfat. At La Boqueria they are nothing if not traditionalists. This is a natural back-fat without any protein glues.

This salt cured pig’s back-fat is brilliant for eating as is, or in cooking.
