In Italy, it's typical to enjoy a selection of cooked and cured meats - known as charcuterie - as part of the antipasti shared before a meal, often over an aperitivo (pre-dinner drink).
Records of charcuterie date back to the Roman period when laws were written up to regulate the process of producing meat for consumption and in the 15th century there were tradesmen's guilds specifically for charcutiers, demonstrating the rich history of this craft.
Whilst there are no Roman legionaries defending the art of charcuterie today, we admire the true artisanship shown by our friends at Tempus Foods, who supply the delicious range of meats that make up our mouth-watering charcuterie platter. Dhruv Baker, a co-founder of Tempus, was the winner of MasterChef in 2010 and he is exceptionally committed to providing meat of the highest quality. Ensuring excellence means taking an active interest in the process of production from its outset, and Tempus are dedicated to utilising the food-chain appropriately, showing their pigs, “the respect and reverence they deserve”. It is as a result of this commitment that Tempus have won numerous awards for their charcuterie, and we can’t wait for you to try it.
In our charcuterie platter, which serves 2-3 as an antipasti selection, we bring you:
Tempus Achari Spiced Salami, a signature, multi-award winning salami flavoured with fennel, black pepper, nigella mace and fenugreek.
Tempus Spiced Coppa. One of the most popular cuts in the world of salume, this coppa is flavoured with cloves, black pepper and cinnamon.
King Peter Air Dried Ham. This trademark ham epitomises Tempus’ approach to making excellent salume. This is a speck-style air-dried ham which is lightly smoked over chestnut and seasoned with juniper, black pepper and bay.
