The Essence of Black Pudding
Black Pudding, a traditional Irish delicacy, is renowned for its deep, robust flavor and hearty texture. It is made from a blend of pork, oats, and a precise mixture of spices, including pepper, allspice, and coriander. The distinctive taste of Black Pudding comes from the inclusion of pork blood, which gives it its characteristic dark color and rich flavor. At The Butcher’s Fancy, we use a time-honored recipe to create a pudding that is both savory and satisfying.

Our Black Pudding is made from high-quality ingredients, ensuring a superior product that our customers have come to love. The main ingredients include:

The preparation process is meticulous. We start by combining the pork, blood, oats, and spices, ensuring an even distribution of flavors. This mixture is then stuffed into natural casings and gently simmered until fully cooked. The result is a firm yet tender pudding that is packed with flavor.
