Flower Meadow Merguez Salami

Hogget (Lamb)

Meet/meat our salami take on the famous merguez. Using hogget (more mature than lamb, less than mutton) as the basis for a deliciously spiced number we have nicknamed 'The Posh Kebab'.

The Makers' Inspiration

When we found a local source of hogget, we were delighted. More sustainable, more richly flavoured and bigger (to benefit our nose to tail approach), we have designed our sheep charcuterie around this fantastic supply.

How We Make It

Once the whole joints are in cure, the rest of the meat heads into our hogget salami products. Pork fat is added at a low fat to meat ratio for texture, while the spices are toasted and introduced, alongside local wine. Fermented and dried to perfection.

Tasting Notes

Grazed sustainably on flower meadows near Marlow, our hogget is as local as could be. The meat is infused with the delicate flavours of the herbs the sheep graze, which we reflect in the herbs used in our flower meadow cure. Blended with the traditional warm, spicy lamb sausage flavours of Merguez from the Middle East. Rich red wines, sheep cheese, hummus and more pair well.

Founder's Take

"We enjoy a fantastic partnership with Bill, our shepherd. She looked after us as we grew, and it's a pleasure to work with her to bring you this salami. It's complex and unusual, so much so that I always forget how good it is and really enjoy it every time I get hold of some."
