\nEager to get the word out and our opinion on their recent addition, Anja Baak made sure we received a pack to be put to the test.<\/p>\n

As with all their charcuterie, the Venison & Pork Chorizo is an ambient product and comes vacuum packed which means it survived the postal journey all the way from Scotland.<\/p>\n

The substantial sausage is a good colour, vibrant with paprika and flecked with little pieces of fat. We liked the texture as it has a degree of softness which makes it easy to cut. It is perfect as a ready to eat product and ideal for cooking too.<\/p>\n

As it comes, the texture is just right, not being too chewy and the flavour is\u00a0rich and deeply savoury with a slight spicy bite \u2013 just what you want in a\u00a0good chorizo.<\/p>\n

The meat combination works very well and for those that perhaps find the\u00a0pure venison products a little on the gamey side, the pork tempers the stronger flavours of the venison.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_position=”top_left” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ text_font_size=”15″ hover_enabled=”0″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]The chorizo is ideal for cooking as it has just the right amount of fat to keep it moist.

Great Glen Charcuterie works closely with Scottish farmers to source the best possible pork and this paired with wild Scottish venison produces the highest quality handmade product.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_position=”top_left” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”AFT Approved” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Arvo||||” text_text_color=”#853d01″ text_font_size=”18″ background_color=”rgba(109,191,230,0.22)” custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]\"\"<\/a><\/strong>Artisan Food Trail Approved

    Last month we announced a     new product<\/a> from\u00a0Great Glen Charcuterie<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Venison & Pork Chorizo<\/a>.
    Eager to get the word out and our opinion on their recent addition, Anja Baak made sure we received a pack to be put to the test.<\/p>

    As with all their charcuterie, the Venison & Pork Chorizo is an ambient product and comes vacuum packed which means it survived the postal journey all the way from Scotland.<\/p>

    The substantial sausage is a good colour, vibrant with paprika and flecked with little pieces of fat. We liked the texture as it has a degree of softness which makes it easy to cut. It is perfect as a ready to eat product and ideal for cooking too.<\/p>

    As it comes, the texture is just right, not being too chewy and the flavour is
    rich and deeply savoury with a slight spicy bite \u2013 just what you want in a
    good chorizo.<\/p>

    The meat combination works very well and for those that perhaps find the
    pure venison products a little on the gamey side, the pork tempers the stronger flavours of the venison.<\/p>

    The chorizo is ideal for cooking as it has just the right amount of fat to keep it moist. We made a simple dish (view recipe<\/a>) combining it with fennel and potatoes which was delicious.<\/p>

    Great Glen Charcuterie works closely with Scottish farmers to source the best possible pork and this paired with wild Scottish venison produces the highest quality handmade product.<\/p>
