Great Glen Charcuterie launches new chorizo

Great Glen Charcuterie has added a new chorizo to its line of charcuterie products.
The chorizo is made with a mixture of Wild Scottish Venison and Scottish produced Pork.

Jan Jacob Baak, Great Glen Charcuterie's director said:

"We wanted to expand our Venison & Pork range. The already well received Venison & Pork salami has now found a little brother in a full flavour packed Venison & Pork Chorizo. This new product in our Venison & Pork range adds a distinct variation to the already award winning pure venison chorizos. Working closely with local farmers to source the best of Scotland’s quality pork we have created a new exiting product that will please many of our customers." 

The Venison & Pork chorizo is made with the same high quality ingredients and unique preserving techniques that makes Great Glen Charcuterie products stand out. Over the years they have won many awards and this new product is sure to be another winner.

The chorizo is ready to eat but especially good to use in cooking and soon, some new recipe cards will be available to provide customers with inspiration.

Great Glen Charcuterie is based in the rugged Highlands of Scotland. 
They use sustainably sourced local wild venison and Scottish pork to produce a range of award winning pure venison and venison based charcuterie. 

Other products made include delicious salamis, chorizos, pepperonis, bresaola and smoked venison.
Great Glen Charcuterie is available from independent retailers 
and their online store.
