Description
Mount Grace Bresaola – North Yorkshire’s Air-Dried Beef
Sourcing:
Mount Grace Charcuterie work with small farms in North Yorkshire to source high-quality native-breed beef. Slow rearing, natural grazing, and careful animal husbandry ensure meat with exceptional depth of flavour and a natural leanness ideal for bresaola.
About the Cut:
Bresaola is traditionally made from the silverside (topside) of the hindquarter – a lean, evenly grained cut that cures beautifully. Its low fat content means the beef retains a clean, pure flavour while developing a melt-in-the-mouth tenderness during drying.
Curing & Flavour:
The beef is cured with a blend of salt, garlic, black pepper, and aromatic herbs, then air-dried for weeks until the flavours concentrate and the meat takes on its signature dark ruby colour. The taste is subtly spiced, savoury, and sweet, with delicate herbal notes and a smooth, silky texture.
Serving Suggestions:
-
Slice paper-thin and serve with rocket, Parmesan shavings, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
-
Pair with figs, pears, or ripe melon for a sweet contrast.
-
Add to antipasti platters with other Mount Grace charcuterie.
-
Use in gourmet sandwiches with soft cheeses.
Nutritional Value:
Bresaola is naturally lean, high in protein, and rich in iron. It offers all the intensity of cured beef but with lower fat content than many other charcuterie options, making it both indulgent and lighter.
Health Benefits:
-
Excellent source of protein for muscle repair and recovery.
-
Rich in iron and B vitamins.
-
Lower in fat compared to many other cured meats.
