Cured Meat
Cured meat is meat which is preserved through various methods such as brining, smoking, salting, canning, ageing and drying. Curing dates to ancient times where storing meat safely and preventing food poisoning was essential. The goal of curing meat is to slow spoilage and prevent the growth of microorganisms.
We offer an award winning array of the finest meats from Tuscany and Valencia – the true definition of artisan quality and taste. Many of which are Great Taste Award winners, for example our splendid Tuscan-cured Pancetta – a double Gold winner! Guanciale, Prosciutto, Porchetta and many different flavour variations of Salami.
This range also features an outstanding variety of Spanish Cured Meat. This includes a variety Chorizo and a variety of Fuet sausage!

Perfect. Great taste and texture.

Outstanding old-school style Salami. We've often tried salami in Italy and find it difficult to get something in the UK similar. It all seems hard and over-salted. The Tuscan Salami one is really excellent. Just like being in Tuscany!

Family agree the Chorizo Picante Riojana is of the best chorizo we've found in UK.

This chorizo was just what I was looking for. Super tasty and perfect on pizza!

So nice and spicy! Exactly as the description says, the chilli spice slowly builds and is not overwhelming but a lovely edge. Really easy to use on pizza, omelettes, pasta sauce or nice sandwich! Not small, but won't last long!

Wonderfully spicy flavour which didn't overpower the taste of the salami.
