2020/21 Award-Winning British Charcuterie Board

The Award-Winning Combination

Celebrating the results of the British Charcuterie Live Awards 2020/21, we’re proud to be working with Peters Yard again this year to create a stunning sharing platter complete with their award-winning sourdough crispbread, crackers and flatbreads and a selection of our producers Gold award-winning charcuterie.

It’s the perfect match – what could be more satisfying?

British Charcuterie & Peters Yard Crackers – The Perfect Match

To create a Charcuterie Board, a really good board, you need to Tempt the Eye and Appeal to the Appetite. We like a contrast of the types, shapes, colours and textures of Charcuterie (i.e. salami, hams, rillettes, etc) with no more than a choice of six or seven tops - otherwise you will overwhelm your taste-buds. But add a few “accessories” – pickled radishes, baby gherkins, tomatoes, olives or a pickle or chutney – that complement and/or contrast the flavours of the Charcuterie and to add to the excitement.

Finally, add a selection of Peter’s Yard Sourdough Crackers - with a choice of

• Original Sourdough Crispbread made from a 45-year-old sourdough starter and fermented for 16 hours before each batch is baked, the flavour and crunch of these crackers are the perfect match.
• Seeded Sourdough Flatbreads are crafted from Shipton Mill flour, British rapeseed oil and poppy, sunflower, pumpkin and nigella seeds, they’re seasoned with hand-harvested Halen Môn sea salt from Wales. Savour the crunch with your favourite dips.
• Rye & Charcoal Sourdough Crackers add a subtle flavour of charcoal and rye. These sourdough crackers are made in small batches with Peter’s Yard signature sourdough starter, which slowly ferments for 16 hours.

What the Judges say….

Cornish Charcuterie – Traditional Pork Rillette

Simple, yet perfectly balanced flavours - soft, moist, melting shreds of pork with a hint of sweetness and richness with just the right quantity of salt. Sometimes the simplest things, done well, just can't be beaten.

Dingley Dell – Iceni Salami

A credit to the company. It felt like eating a great Italian Salumi

Great Glen Charcuterie - Green Pepper Venison Salami

What a wonderfully crafted salami! Loved the texture - a perfectly balanced flavour profile

Kubarn – 18-month Air-Dried Ham from Hampshire/Duroc Pig

Fantastic product - wanted to eat more and more!

Rare & Pasture – Pork & Fennel Salami

Fabulous. Loved the artisan execution – great colour & texture and a good, even distribution of the fennel. Well done!

Salt Pig Curing – Spiced Loin

Amazing! Amazing! Can’t believe it didn't taste fatty given it was 60/40 meat to fat but it is a delight

Wildman Charcuterie – 2020/21 Champion of Champions Product Longhorn Bresaola

Great aroma of rosemary matched by the taste. Superb well done - great choice of species bringing the beef taste forward
