English Wild Boar from The Real Boar Company

The Real Boar Company produces a range of fantastic salamis, Cotswold reared and Cotswold made. We can provide an all English charcuterie plate including our exceptional new ham, cold smoked and marinated. See our Charcuterie page for more details.

Boar are very much back in the limelight, not just because of their escapades into the countryside but also due to our increasing interest in healthy eating and a reversion to slow cooked foods.

Our boar has graced establishments totalling 13 Michelin stars including The Cinq Restaurant at George V in Paris!

Wild Boar are a native species and an integral part of the ecology of any woodland. Our Boar are ethically farmed in 20 acres of mixed woodland and grasses at the edge of the Cotswolds. The land has been free from any pesticides, herbicides or fertiliser since 1990. They are rotated onto fresh ground throughout the year and forage for their food; this includes acorns, fungi, cherries and other spoils which all helps to make up the unique 'Real Boar' flavour.

Our boar has being going down well, tried and tested by local Michelin Star chefs.

"The boar was a huge success. We made terrines, sausages, brawn as well as roasting the loins, legs etc. Absolutely delicious."
Hywel Jones, Lucknam Park

"We couldn't be luckier, it's a fantastic product and if you're big on local produce it's literally roaming around Whatley's doorstep."
Martin Burge, Whatley Manor

As well as using our own boar we also proudly support other farmers who produce their meat to the same exacting standards as ours.
