Shame about the large portion of fat
The main joint cooked lovely. The large piece on the side was all fat. Charged for 615 grams that went into the bin.
Disappointment
I often buy this cut and most of the time it is a beautiful tender meat. I ordered this one again after the Christmas to cook it for a family dinner and what a disappointment. After roasting and cutting it turned out that half of the meat was pure fat, lots of veins, the meat was hard and chewy. I don't know what happened there, if they sent me some different cut, because that's not how the loin looks. Instead of a joyful family dinner everybody was forcing themselves to eat and trying to find more soft pieces. What a disappointment, especially this time a year when I invited guests to my house.
Great joint
I have bought this several times. Cooked tightly wrapped in foil with bay leaves, peppercorns and a dash of calvados (for the apple flavour) it is excellent, moist and succelent
Wrong wrapping
The pork was good but the wrapping was horrendous. When opened the pork smelt awful and the wrapping was slimy. To make sure it was the wrapping that caused the smell and not the pork, I had to leave the pork out of the fridge, unwrapped for 45 minutes before daring to put it in the oven Such a shame as it is a nice piece of pork.
No crackling?
I have avoided buying this when I see it in store - as someone else has pointed out, it’s sold with the crackling removed - though sometimes it’s hard to tell this through the packaging. If I’m picking a loin joint then I want the crackling so this is not for me
Nice meat if you know how to cook
Nice piece of pork. Re: some of the negative reviews. People who do not understand how different cuts of meat should be cooked shouldn't leave negative reviews. Pork loin should NEVER be done in a slow cooker. Of course it was dry!
Really Delicious.
Top quality !.Tasted delicious. My guests stated it was one of the best they have tasted.
Lovely joint of pork, recommended
This pork loin was good quality meat, cooked to perfection, and was really tasty.
Great tasting pork.
I bought a loin joint, cut off 6 steaks and left the rest as a joint. It all went in the freezer. We had 2 steaks tonight cooked on the bbq with a green salad. I used a dry rub on the steaks. The pork was tender and full of flavour. Can't wait for it to go on offer again.
