Leg of mutton from free range sheep bred and raised in the British Isles is cured with rosemary, juniper, garlic, black pepper, and port. It is then fermented and air-dried before being smoked over beech wood.  A most wonderful, robust and unexpected flavour for this ready-to-eat soft, supple and extremely delicious sliced meat.  This wins awards every year!

It makes a fine salad served with some wild rocket, shavings of Parmesan and a drizzle of balsamic dressing.

The judges said of this product

• There is definitely a flavour of mutton at the beginning, followed by the subtlety of herbs. The beech smoking has given an extra dimension and a lot of complexity to take into account.  Intense flavour develops, with aromas, hints of all its ingredients integrated into the final taste experience.  THIS IS A CELEBRATION OF THE ART OF CHARCUTERIE 
• Very clever.  The smoke was total perfection.  The cure and spice are delightful. Pure harmony
• This is a fabulous use of mutton - a great cured meat worthy of acclaim
