Venison - Black Pepper and Juniper
Batch Code: VBAC007
Comments
Our Venison bacon is made using the haunches of wild deer. Deer are shot to control their population as there are too many of them and they cause damage to farmland. They have no natural predators.
Our deer supplier is the Cotswold Game and Meat Company who provide us with many haunches each month which we typically cure with Black Pepper and Juniper. This takes at least 6 weeks from the start of the curing process until it has dried enough to cut.
The venison bacon is incredibly flavoured and extremely lean. We suggest frying it with a little butter as it has almost no fat of its own. A very healthy and worthy meat to have as a treat.

Halon Môn [https://www.halenmon.com]
Sea Salt Manufacturer
Halon Môn are based in one of the loveliest parts of Wales. They source their salt from the Menai Straits. After graduating from Bangor University, where where the founders had fallen in love with each other and the island of Anglesey, they started looking for ways that would allow them to continue to live and work in this area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
In 1997, they left a saucepan of seawater to boil on the Aga in their family kitchen aga and as the salt crystals started to form, they knew they'd struck culinary gold. In 1999, they started supplying Halen Môn Sea Salt to Swains, their local butchers in Menai Bridge on the Isle of Anglesey, and now we use it too.
We love this story and love their products and any company that has not one, but two dogs on their "Who are we" page definitely deserve to be suppliers!
