FRESH PORK CHEEK PLUMBS (~1KG)

£6.20

Once prepared the cheek is called a plum. We are so pleased they are back on some restaurant menus because they are perhaps the most perfect braising dish. A simply wonderful flavour and texture. A real treat for any occasion.

Fresh pork cheek plumbs are the leaner, muscular part of a pig’s cheek that can be slow-cooked or braised until tender. They are a flavorful cut of meat that absorbs sauces and seasonings well.
