Unsliced Hogget Chorizo Salami - Half Salami (400g)

Meet/meat our Hogget Chorizo in unsliced format, ready for this unique example of British charcuterie to be used as a fantastic ingredient, centrepiece or grazing board element.

The Makers' Inspiration

Hogget, sheep in its second year, offers more depth of flavor compared to lamb. This richness reflects a longer life and better grazing conditions. Its robustness provides an excellent foundation for charcuterie, allowing for a broader spectrum of flavors compared to milder meats. This led us to create a boldly spiced chorizo, incorporating hints of the flower meadow to achieve a balanced profile.

How We Make It

Hogget, the sheep in its second year, offers a richer flavor compared to lamb, owing to its longer life and better grazing conditions. Its robustness provides an excellent base for charcuterie, enabling a wider range of flavors compared to milder meats. This inspired us to craft a boldly spiced chorizo, subtly infused with hints of the flower meadow to achieve a harmoniously balanced profile.

Tasting Notes

The savoury richness of hogget, nestled between lamb and mutton, lends this chorizo a distinctive edge. It evokes the ruggedness of the hills rather than the farm, making it a perfect complement to sheep's cheese and wines with more body.
