Description Mount Grace Coffee & Chilli Bresaola – Intensity with a Northern Edge Sourcing:Produced by Mount Grace Charcuterie, this bresaola is made from native-breed beef reared on small farms in North Yorkshire. The emphasis on slow, sustainable farming ensures beef with robust flavour and lean texture, perfect for curing. About the Cut:The cut of choice is the silverside (or topside) – lean, evenly grained, and naturally suited to air drying. Its texture becomes tender during curing, with no excess fat, allowing the spice blend to shine. Curing & Flavour:The beef is cured with a mix of salt, spices, roasted coffee, and chilli before being slowly air-dried. Over several weeks, the beef absorbs the earthy depth of the coffee and the subtle heat of chilli, creating a layered profile: Coffee adds roasted, slightly bitter notes that enhance the beef’s natural richness. Chilli brings warmth rather than overpowering heat, lingering gently on the palate. Together they create a charcuterie with both savoury complexity and a modern twist. Serving Suggestions: Serve thin slices with aged cheeses and a drizzle of honey to highlight the coffee notes. Pair with roasted nuts and olives on a charcuterie board. Layer into sourdough sandwiches with rocket and creamy cheese. Enjoy alongside a dark stout, porter, or rich red wine to echo the roasted coffee flavours. Nutritional Value:Like traditional bresaola, it’s lean, high in protein, and rich in iron, with the added antioxidant properties of chilli. Health Benefits: Low in fat but high in protein, supporting muscle recovery. Coffee and chilli bring additional plant compounds with antioxidant effects. Naturally gluten-free, with no artificial additives.
