- The Meat in a true Melton Mowbray Pork Pie is the finest British uncured pork so when cooked, the meat is a grey colour and not pink.
- The Firm and Crusty Pastry should be made with the finest ingredients but the exact details are a closely guarded secret.
- The Pork is corsely chopped and a secret blend of seasoning is added.

The advantage of this is that you can enjoy freshly baked pies at home. Please note we cannot guarantee that they are still frozen when they arrive but they will be sent on a next day delivery service and packed with special ice packs which ensure they remain cold during transportation. They should not be refrozen and should be refrigerated and then baked within 24 hours of arrival.
