THE GREAT BRITISH CHARCUTERIE SUBSCRIPTION BOX
SHORT REVIEW FOR RESTAURANTS BRIGHTON.
The Great British Charcuterie Co. provide carefully curated boxes of specially selected, seasonal and sustainable produce each month, eliminating the question of indecision when it comes to sophisticated flavour combinations! Four cheese, four charcuterie cuts, indulgent, artisan crackers and chutney are provided alongside a full list of tasting notes and pairing suggestions, including delivery to your door by a friendly member of their team.
WHY A CHARCUTERIE SUBSCRIPTION?
Unlike many other food deliveries, the wonderful thing about a charcuterie hamper is that it can chill in the fridge until you are ready to tuck in. The GBC hamper was so versatile! We got creative with our hamper and decided to have it as a dinner alongside homemade asparagus mimosa, Italian tomato salad, and herby Mediterranean orzo.
There was a marvellous combination of contrasting textures and colour within the selection box to really magnify the enjoyment of our delivery. Each product brought a truly unique flavour to the table, with no single item tasting mediocre.
CONTENTS
Here were our favourites from the May 2020 hamper:
‘Little Sussex’; A medium fat, mild soft cheese with a fluffy texture from ewe’s milk. This can be served as it is or served griddled with a fresh Summer salad.
‘Westcombe Cheddar’; The only firm cheese of this month's board, but it had a far more complex flavour. With almost caramelly, as well as nutty flavour, this cheese lingered for much longer than your plasticy supermarket bought cheddar!
‘Calcot Fennel Salami’; This was undoubtedly my favourite meat of the selection and I can understand why it is a best seller. This is sliced thick and contains herby, aniseed flavour notes.
‘Mushroom and truffle salami’; A rich and indulgent salami made with free-range Sussex pork, wild mushrooms and truffles; this Sussex-based producer isn’t shy in ensuring the truffle's flavour pops!
Also included: Burt’s Blue Cheese, Organic Cotswold Herb Brie, Beal’s Farm Bresaola. ’Hellfire Sticks’ (not too dissimilar from a posh Peperami!).
