Trealy Farm Charcuterie combines innovative technology with traditional methods learnt from extensive and ongoing training in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, as well as across the UK. The charcuterie make a wide range of high quality meat
products, including air-dried products rarely made in the UK such as salamis, air-dried hams, pancetta and bresaola, also speciality sausages, bacons and hams, and ready to eat cooked products such as hot smoked herbed hams, Bath Chaps and boudin noir.
In addition to supplying its range to many of the finest
restaurants and shops nationwide, the charcuterie also process pigs or other livestock on behalf of private or business customers and attends Farmers’ Markets and Food Festivals around Monmouthshire. The charcuterie uses exclusively locally raised, traditional
breed, free range animals (mainly pigs, but it also produces beef, lamb, wild boar, venison and goat products), all fed on natural feeds. As a British company, it often builds on the traditions of fine continental European charcuterie recipes but always with a
view not to replicating products already on the market but to take them as a starting point to develop its own original, delicious takes on products. This way the business hopes to help create a new tradition of British charcuterie excellence. The charcuterie keeps preservatives to the absolute legal minimum and does not use any artificial flavourings, artificial colourings or emulsifiers. The organic curing salts used contain no nitrates and, if absolutely necessary for product safety, only the lowest possible levels of nitrite – the only artificial additive of any sort used. With a growing national reputation as one of the UK’s best
artisan producers, Trealy Farm Charcuterie is proud to make products that maintain all the traits of truly authentic artisan charcuterie and yet also deliver industry-standard levels of product safety and consistency. Having just moved to new bigger premises in Monmouthshire, and with the previous premises now to be used for courses and other events, the business is aiming to expand production while fully retaining its artisan ideals of quality meat processing.
