Meet/meat our Hogget Chorizo, a bold and savory blend of classic chorizo spices and British hogget (between lamb and mutton).

 

The Makers' Inspiration

Hogget, a sheep in its second year, brings more depth than lamb. Its richer flavor reflects a longer life and better grazing. This extra intensity makes it ideal for charcuterie, allowing for a wider range of flavors compared to milder meats. This inspired a robustly spiced chorizo, balanced with subtle meadow notes.

 

How We Make It

Following our nose-to-tail philosophy, we craft this chorizo from hogget cuts not used in our bresaola, including prime cuts like the shoulder. Much of the fat is trimmed for the right texture, then the meat is spiced, fermented, and air-dried for a couple of months until just right.

 

Tasting Notes

Hogget’s savoriness sets this chorizo apart, offering a flavor that's more hillside than farmyard. It pairs wonderfully with sheep’s cheese and fuller-bodied wines.

 

Founder's Take

"Hogget charcuterie is uniquely transformed by how it’s prepared. This chorizo is a perfect example. Try it sliced, wilted, or fried and let it take you on a flavor journey."
