Meet our unsliced Hogget Chorizo, a standout example of British charcuterie that serves as an excellent ingredient, a centerpiece, or an impressive addition to a grazing board.

 

The Makers' Inspiration

Hogget, which is sheep in its second year, offers a richer flavor compared to lamb due to its longer life and superior grazing conditions. This depth of flavor creates a robust foundation for charcuterie, allowing for a more complex flavor profile. This inspired us to craft a chorizo with bold spices and subtle hints of flower meadow, resulting in a well-balanced taste.

 

How We Make It

Hogget, which is sheep in its second year, provides a deeper flavor compared to lamb because of its extended life and better grazing. This robust meat serves as a perfect base for charcuterie, allowing for a broader range of flavors. We’ve created a chorizo with bold spices and delicate notes of flower meadow, achieving a harmonious flavor profile.

 

Tasting Notes

The savory richness of hogget, positioned between lamb and mutton, gives this chorizo a distinctive character. It evokes the rugged essence of the hills rather than the farm, making it an ideal pairing with sheep’s cheese and robust wines.

 

Founder's Take

"Hogget charcuterie transforms beautifully with different preparation methods, as showcased by this chorizo. Whether sliced, wilted, or fried, each technique offers a unique taste experience, inviting you on a flavorful journey."

Beer match

With a spice profile akin to our British pork chorizo, it pairs well with similar beers. Try Rebellion's Overthrow, Blonde, or Hazy Pale. These session ales, Blonde ales, hazy brews, and wheat beers complement the chorizo's flavors excellently.
