Air Dried Blackie

Grass Fed Scottish Blackface Mutton · 55g

Six months in the making, our Air Dried Blackie brings together grass fed mutton, aromatic herbs and the patience of a long, slow cure.

We rear Hexham type Scottish Blackface sheep, a hardy breed well suited to our northern climate. Affectionately known in the farming world as “Blackies”, these distinctive sheep are the inspiration behind the name and the heart of this addition to our collection.

Their mutton leg is carefully cured with red wine, rosemary, oregano and juniper berries, alongside black pepper and nutmeg, then slowly air dried for six months. The result is a rich, savoury flavour, with fragrant herbal notes and gentle warmth from the spices, allowing the character of the mutton to shine through.

Thinly sliced and ready to enjoy, it makes a distinctive centrepiece for a sharing board. Serve with good sourdough, a mature sheep’s milk cheese and a little fruit chutney, or enjoy it simply on its own. Allow the slices to come to room temperature before serving to appreciate their full flavour.
