Venison Old Fashioned Salami

Just like the Cocktail

Meet/meat our cocktail salami, or cocktail in a salami. Local liquor and uproarious fruit lift gamey, local wild venison to new heights for tapas nights.

The Makers' Inspiration

It went like this: "Something for venison... something for venison... it's gamey, so we need fruit and freshness. But we also like booze. Aha!" Quite a lot to do with the fact that founder Alex likes an Old Fashioned.

How We Make It

Wild venison, sourced locally, is trimmed in a nose to tail process. A little pork fat is added for texture, then we add local barrel-aged rum, orange, herbs and spices. Fermented, then matured for several weeks until the flavours are melded and the texture has firmed.

Tasting Notes

Everything you'd expect from an Old Fashioned - smoke, oak, citrus and booze, all lifting the delicious richness of wild venison. A perfect partner for rum, whisky or sweet wines, it made a lovely stripped back tapas.

The Judges' Verdict - Great Taste 1 Star Winner

"We were very intrigued by the initial taste and felt it brought something new to the charcuterie party. It has great texture, is very well balanced, isn't at all greasy and leaves no artificial notes on the palate."
