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.
