Melton Mowbray pork pie

The Melton Mowbray pork pie is named after a town in Leicestershire. Melton pies became popular among fox hunters in the area during the late nineteenth century. Only pies made within a designated zone around Melton, and using uncured pork, are allowed to carry the Melton Mowbray name on their packaging. The pie is made with a hand-formed crust – this style of production gives the pie a slightly irregular shape after baking.
