Description
Bray Cured Hogget Merguez takes the classic Middle Eastern sausage to new heights with the rich, robust flavor of sustainably grazed hogget—a more mature version of lamb, full of character and depth. With a perfect balance of spice and texture, this salami is lovingly crafted with a blend of toasted spices, local red wine, and a touch of pork fat for a rich, juicy finish. Nicknamed “The Posh Kebab,” this salami brings together tradition and innovation in every bite, making it a standout treat for charcuterie lovers.
Tasting
The Hogget Merguez offers a complex and richly spiced flavor profile, where the deep, meaty taste of the hogget shines through with a savory intensity. The added pork fat gives it a tender texture that melts in your mouth, while the toasted spices—caraway, cumin, and paprika—lend a warming, aromatic heat reminiscent of traditional Merguez sausages. The infusion of local red wine provides a subtle tang that enhances the savory richness of the meat, creating a mouthwatering balance of flavors.
Pairing
This salami pairs beautifully with aged sheep cheeses such as Manchego or Pecorino, which echo the flavors of the hogget. It also complements fresh, tangy hummus, grilled vegetables, or Mediterranean olives. For an indulgent pairing, enjoy it alongside flatbreads or crusty pita, creating a mini feast with bold, rustic flavors.
The Hogget Merguez is well-suited to rich, full-bodied red wines such as Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon, which complement the spiced, savory notes. Alternatively, a zesty rosé or a sparkling wine offers a refreshing contrast to the deep flavors. For something a little different, pair it with a craft beer, such as a malty brown ale, which brings out the earthiness of the hogget.
