Description Only a handful of people produce traditional, fresh blood black pudding. The rest use imported dried blood powder. Fresh blood black pudding is so rare you have probably never bought or tasted it before. Ours is a sumptuous mix of fresh blood, oats, pearl barley, onions, fat and spices. Grill or fry….get the outside crunchy and serve. It’s an International Award Winner and a Great Taste 2014 winner. Fresh blood black pudding fell out of favour during the BSE crisis when a ban was put on harvesting the blood. It has now become too difficult for the larger producers in the UK to source fresh blood in significant quantities and there is not a UK source of dried blood. Producers now rely on imports of dried blood to make their black puddings. We are lucky to work with the Fruit Pig Company who have a consistent supply of fresh blood from a local slaughterhouse and so are able to make their black puddings in a traditional way as butchers used to. Black pudding is great for breakfast and pairs perfectly with eggs. The flavours of the pudding pair well with a variety of different foods, but bacon and black pudding must be a match made in heaven! INREDIENTS Fresh, local pigs’ blood (28%), British pork fat (24%), British OATS and BARLEY, onions, salt, spices. There is no wheat, maize, dairy, chilli, nitrate or sulphite in Fruit Pig black pudding. Ingredient salt contains E535 anti-caking agent.
