Christmas is a time for indulgence, celebration and gathering around the table with loved ones. At the centre of many festive meals is pork — succulent gammon joints, perfectly glazed hams, and delicious chipolata sausages. But as awareness of food additives grows, more people are asking: “Are these meats safe, and what’s in them?”
At Eversfield Organic, we’re proud to say that all of our pork is 100% nitrate-free, meaning you can enjoy your Christmas favourites without worrying about unnecessary chemicals or preservatives.
🥩 Why Choose Nitrate-Free Pork
Nitrates and nitrites are commonly added to cured meats to preserve colour, prevent bacterial growth, and extend shelf life. While they serve a functional purpose in industrial processing, research has shown that high consumption of nitrite-cured meats is linked to certain cancers and other health concerns.
Choosing nitrate-free meat helps you:
-
Reduce exposure to synthetic chemicals in your festive diet
-
Enjoy a more natural flavour and texture in your meats
-
Support organic and traditional farming methods that prioritise health
🎄 Our Popular Christmas Pork Products
Nitrate-free pork is especially important during Christmas, when items like:
-
Gammon joints for roasting or carving
-
Organic hams glazed to perfection
-
Chipolata and breakfast sausages for festive brunches
are often central to the celebration.
At Eversfield Organic, all these products are completely free from added nitrates and nitrites, allowing you to celebrate with food that’s safe, wholesome, and full of natural flavour.
🌿 Why It Matters
Choosing nitrate-free meat isn’t just about health. It’s also about:
-
Supporting ethical, organic farming practices
-
Reducing reliance on industrial processing methods
-
Protecting your family from unnecessary additives
-
Enjoying meat in the way nature intended — rich, natural, and full of real flavour
Our farmers carefully rear their pigs outdoors, feed them a natural diet, and allow them to grow slowly, resulting in meat that is naturally delicious and safe to eat.
