The Melton Mowbray pork pie is a traditional British dish originating from the town of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. It is made with a rich, flaky pastry filled with seasoned minced pork, often including pork jelly for added flavor and moisture. The pie is typically shaped into a distinctive, raised crust and is known for its hand-crafted appearance. This pork pie is protected by Protected Geographical Indication status, meaning it must be made in the Melton Mowbray area to be labeled as such. It is a popular snack or picnic food, often enjoyed cold and served with pickles or chutney.
