"Cochinillo" Segovia Suckling Pig 2 - 4 kg - Family Box

The most iconic pork dish in Spanish cuisine

Segovian cochinillo is defined by contrast: impossibly crisp skin and exceptionally tender meat. Prepared from milk-fed piglets and roasted slowly, it delivers a clean, delicate flavour that needs nothing more than salt, water, and time.

This family-size format follows the same tradition served in Segovia’s historic asadores — simple technique, flawless result, and a presentation that speaks for itself.

6 simple steps will be all you need to enjoy an authentic Segovia-style "cochinillo" roast suckling pig in your home.

1. Preheat the oven to 15 minutes to 180 degrees.

2. Salt the pig to taste, always along the insides. 

3. Place wooden sticks over the oven tray so the skin does not stick to it. Add plenty of water until the wooden sticks are completely immersed.

4. Place the piglet in the oven with the skin facing down, 180 degrees for one hour and a half.

5. Remove the piglet, turn it over, and put it back in for another hour and a half with the skin facing up. 

6. Strain the gravy and serve it on the side. Never pour the gravy over the piglet to avoid softening the skin.
