Savoury, Spicy Lamb
Meet/meat our Hogget Chorizo, a spiced and savoury combination of classic chorizo flavour with British hogget (between lamb and mutton).
 
The Makers' Inspiration
Hogget, sheep in it's second year, has more oomph than lamb. The extra flavour reflects a longer life and better grazing. That extra power is a great canvas for charcuterie, with a wider range of flavours possible than if the meat was milder. This inspired a punchily spiced chorizo, with some flavours of the flower meadow included for balance.
 
How We Make It
Adopting our nose to tail approach, as usual, we produce this chorizo from the hogget cuts we don't use for bresaola, so prime cuts like shoulder. A lot of the fat is removed, for texture, then the product is spiced, fermented and dried for a couple of months until it's perfect.
 
Tasting Notes
The savouriness of hogget (between lamb and mutton) gives this chorizo an edge. More of the hills than of the farm, it's a great pair for sheep's cheese, of course, and wines with a bit more body.
 
Founder's Take
"More than other types of meat, hogget charcuterie is transformed by different kinds of preparation. This one's a great example. Serve some sliced, serve some wilted, serve some fried, and see how it takes you on a journey."

How does ArtisanBox work?
2. Packed by the Artisan: We don't use dusty warehouses. Once you order, our makers are notified immediately. They hand-pick and pack your items direct from their own farm, butchery, or kitchen.
3. Direct-to-Door Delivery: Because our artisans prioritise freshness, your items are shipped straight to you. If you order from multiple makers, your treats may arrive in separate packages, ensuring each one travels the shortest distance possible to stay at its best.
Individual shipping rates apply per artisan to ensure they can use their preferred specialist couriers.
How does shipping and delivery work?
We attempt to make this clear to you throughout the process via the following:
* On each product page we show the vendor details, the estimated shipping and delivery dates and the shipping cost for a given product.
* We display estimated delivery times in basket, checkout and confirmation email.
* At checkout we display the number of deliveries and associated costs (if any) with each shipment.
