We love making nduja. It’s probably our favourite, and apart from that when tasted, always remembered’ feeling we first got at an Italian street food stall in Islington, the reason why comes down to two things. First, it’s a joy to make. It requires more fat than salami, so making nduja is key to using every part of a whole pig. We like that kind of thing at Bray Cured. Second, it’s just a fantastic cooking ingredient, working in complex dishes, but particularly useful because it elevates simple ones. Nduja butter for fish or steak, for example, spicy nduja added to a frozen pizza, or melted on an oyster, or just nduja sausage spread on toast.
