The Melton Mowbray Pork Pie is a traditional British meat pie originating from the town of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. It is made with a rich, seasoned pork filling encased in a crisp, golden-brown pastry. The pie is known for its distinctive shape, often featuring a hand-formed crust that is thicker at the edges. This pork pie is protected by Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, meaning only pies made in the Melton Mowbray area can be labeled as such. It is typically enjoyed cold and is a popular choice for picnics and celebrations, often served with pickles or chutney.
