The Real Boar Company are delighted to have won a gold 2 star award in 2009 Great Taste awards for their Wild Boar and Venison with red wine. This follows the gold 3 star award last year and is only the second product and the second year they have entered this competition.

To win gold at the Great Taste Awards is a terrific achievement but to win a two star, or three star award means joining Britain’s elite.” Charles Campion, Food Critic

The Real Boar Company sell their wild boar haunches and loins privately and to a multitude of restaurants throughout the country such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage and Raymond Blanc’s Brasserie Blanc in Bristol. It has graced establishments totalling fifteen Michelin stars in addition to being stocked in some fine venues such as Harvey Nichols, Daylesford and The House of Bruar.

The salami is made locally by Andrew and Charlie in the traditional style and has a 6 month shelf life at ambient temperature. It is packaged in stylish, contemporary and recyclable tubes.

As well as the wild boar and venison salami which has an amazing full flavour for the most discerning tastebuds they also produce a wild boar chorizo, a free range pork salami and chorizo and an Oxford and Sandy Black pork salami from their own pigs. This autumn the Real Boar Company will be launching the Cotswold Game salami, a blend of boar, venison, and pheasant with port, inspired and sumptuous - though they say so themselves!
