Score right through the rind to help the fat render out and the skin to crisp. Porcelet shoulder can be slow roasted, and finished under the broiler for a brief period to make the most incredible layer of crackling.
Years ago, D'Artagnan partnered with a family farm in Quebec to introduce their unique milk-fed pork to the U.S. Inspired by the European tradition of cochon de lait, they established a very specialized operation, unique in North America, to raise Yorkshire breed piglets in spacious barns and nourished with a unique feeding program.
After being weaned, the piglets get this proprietary milk formula warmed to the temperature of mother’s milk every two hours, 12 times a day. This matches the natural nursing rhythm and makes for a seamless and stress-free transition. The diet allows them to thrive and grow larger than conventional suckling pigs while maintaining the tenderness and flavor associated with much younger pigs. No antibiotics, growth promotants, or anything artificial are added to the feed.
