Lamb and Venison

"The course will enable me to make better choices of cuts and use of meat. I think the course is excellent for people starting meat retail as it is well tailored to each individual needs."

"An invaluable source of information. Can’t wait to put my new skills into action."

Kirstie & Mark Banham - "We are about to open our new farm shop and it is fantastic to look back and see how far we have come since doing the lamb butchery course."

Salami Making
	Experienced salami maker, Justin Davis, delivered a detailed classroom lecture covering essential information on the use of cures, pH levels, and drying conditions to meet health and safety requirements for commercial sales.
The course moved onto production techniques and Justin provided a detailed design for how to convert a fridge into a curing chamber to air dry the sausages. The one day course finished with a practical session making up a salami mix, stuffing casings and tying off the ends with a butterfly knot (a useful tip to preventing the meat from falling out when drying).
“The pace, structure and content of the course were spot on – brilliant. Adds a new product to our existing range” said one participant on the course. Other comments included “Well run course, just the right amount of time and good fun” and “Great class, teacher and information”.
