Capreolus Fine Foods

Capreolus charcuterie is a new product in our deli this Summer. Peter will be here doing a meet the maker tasting on the 26th of August.

Capreolus Fine Foods is a multi-award winning, family owned English artisan charcuterie producer in Rampisham, West Dorset.  Quality and provenance are of the utmost importance to us and we source locally bred and reared free range meat from traditional and rare  breeds wherever possible and seasonal wild meats from the West Country.

Curing of the meat follows age-old traditional techniques combined with a flair and instinct for flavour.  Air-drying of the cured meat is carried out in temperature and humidity controlled rooms to overcome the vagaries of the British weather.  Smoke is used to enhance the flavour of some of the meats using beech wood chips which give a delicate flavour that never dominates the fine qualities of the meats.
