About Somerset Charcuterie
Traditional artisan methods of curing meats with a West Country twist
Somerset Charcuterie Description
At Somerset Charcuterie we believe in embracing traditional Italian and Spanish methods combined with some of the fantastic flavours and rich food culture of the West Country. The result is a range of great tasting meat products unlike anything you have tasted before.
We use mainly Saddleback and Gloucester Old Spot pigs - all free range and locally reared. Where possible we are using other local ingredients and our cider, sage, cheese, honey, hazelnuts and wild garlic all comes from under 10 miles from the farm.

In only 8-10 months the blossom from this orchard will have been replaced by apples that will be turned into cider, added to our chorizo and salami mixes, fermented (for the second time), air dried and be ready for sale.

Congratulations to all the finalists in the @gbcuredmeat awards @boroughmarket @cannonandcannon We are really pleased to have our Fennel & cider salami and Somerset Culatello up for awards. #charcuterie #britishcharcuterie #awards #boroughmarket #freerange #freerangepigs #curedmeat #airdried #salami #culatello #somerset #somersetcharcuterie
Harvesting Culatello this morning. Hung in front of our Himalayan pink salt brick wall, slowly ageing for around 12 months. This really is the king of Salumi. We select only 5-10% of our free range rare breed pork legs for this premium product. They need just the right amount of intramuscular fat, muscle size and a good fat covering to make the grade. The two best muscles from the leg are boned, dressed and cured in sea salt alone. They are then washed in farmhouse cider and encased in a bladder to slow the maturing process and develop the most amazing rich depth of flavour that is positively mouth tingling! We are very proud of this product. #culatello #britishcharcuterie #charcuterie #rarebreed #somersetcharcuterie #artisan #skill #craft @ Somerset Charcuterie

wow amazing. think we bought 4 different types 3 gone in less than one hour of purchase. favourite red wine and blue cheese, unfortunately children's too so didn't get a lot.
Totally loved our charcuterie course today. Fabulous laid back but professional tuition plus an excellent lunch! Would highly recommended. Thanks guys!!
These products are fantastic! Very refreshing take on charcuterie with your use of rich local ingredients. Especially cider and cheese. Really like the mulled wine salami too, I didn't think it would work until I tasted it!!! Amazing
My birthday present from my wife this year was a charcuterie workshop and I can safely say it was probably the best foodie course I have attended. Ratio of attendees to instructors was generous which meant there was always an expert you could quietly ask that 'stupid' question!
Love this range of Charcuterie! Spicy chorizo with smoked paprika is definitely my favourite - brilliant on it's own and also adds lovely flavour to lots of tasty meals.
I've had the pleasure of trying quite a few of the different chorizo sausages they produce. All of them pack big full flavours and are balanced well by the more subtle flavours in the background. The Somerset Pork with Cider are my current favourite. Delicious!
I received a day's Charcuterie course for my birthday and what a day it was! Evebrything from butchering half a pig to the curing, drying, recipes, mincing and hilarious salami making. A fantastic local produce lunch was provided too. We were sent away with a pancetta kit to make at home (including a large cut of belly that we butchered earlier) and our salami and chorizo will be sent on when it is ready. Totally awesome and highly recommended.
I love, love, love these. Had a bunch when we were visiting for Christmas and this is honestly some of the best cured meats I've tasted. That means a lot coming from a Kansas girl!
I have also tasted the delicious charcuteri products..and I will bring some to Norway next time, and make sure my friends will have a tast..
I had a thoroughly enjoyable day attending the charcuterie course yesterday, hosted by Andy & Joe. I learned how to butcher half a pig, the curing process, followed by a great lunch which included a spread of their delicious cured meats & cider. A proper Somerset lunch!! We then toured the facility followed by making a fennel salami and a chorizo, which will be delivered to my home in 5 weeks or so - awesome! We left with a goody bag of belly pork + curing ingredients to make our own Pancetta at home. A superb day that I would highly recommend to anyone who is remotely interested in top notch cured meats.....too be honest it would be rude not to!
Have ordered the coppa several times after trying it at the Blenheim Palace food event - it's always delicious and the portions are generously above the stated weight (which means it lasts about an extra day..). Had a small problem with an order this week and James sorted it out very promptly and courteously; excellent customer service.
Had the pleasure to meet you as a fellow stall holder at the Gloucester quays festive fair. I bought your blue cheese/red wine version! It's is FANTASTIC!
Had the Sage, Mustard and cider salami. Best I've ever tasted. Yummy!
Great day doing the charcuterie course, learning how to butcher half a pig, the curing process, a fantastic lunch featuring many of their delicious products (seriously try them if you haven't already) and then an afternoon of making salami & chorizo. A great day that i recommend to anyone who is interested in home curing or picking up some new skills.
Bought the best british sausage i have ever tried!!!!!
Bought some yesterday (wednesday) at Wells Market, chorizo and the one that has blue cheese in it?! Hardly got any left after I brought them out at the pub back in london! Come to Greenwich.
Bloody lovely, particularly the blue cheese flavoured charcuterie
Bang on blue cheese and red wine salami as ever! Bought this morning, gone already!
5 star products using 5 star ingredients for 5 star gourmands!!
