Double Loin

Double loin refers to both loin eyes prepared together—essentially saddle meat as a paired roast without full bone drama. Rich presentation when tied side by side. Roast carefully so both eyes hit pink together; rest and slice. Excellent for two-household celebrations. Herb crusts and mustard coats suit the mild loin flavour. Avoid overcooking in pursuit of “matching” colour—pull on temperature.
