Certifications
Dorset Red has achieved several medals over the years. We also receive hundreds of unsolicited e mails from the general public, lauding its deliciously distinctive flavour. In fact one little boy who must be our biggest fan is utterly hooked and would favour Dorset Red over chocolate every time! Why not try it for yourself?

The Profile

Dorset Red is then cold-smoked over oak chips, overnight, which bestows it with its distinctive, mellow, smoky flavour.

Wine Pairings

A fresh, vibrant red wine will complement the mellow, lightly smoked flavours of the delicious Dorset Red. The ripe cherry flavours of a Chilean Pinot Noir would be perfect, perhaps the Montes Alpha Pinot Noir or maybe Allegrini’s Valpolicella from the Veneto in Italy.

Food Pairings

Dorset Red, with its smoky, mellow flavor, pairs beautifully with crisp apples or pears, crusty bread, and a glass of dry cider. For something richer, try it alongside smoked ham or a tangy chutney to complement its savory depth.
