As the trend for indulgent cooking continues to sweep the nation, one ingredient is making a comeback in kitchens across the country: pork back fat.

My search for good quality back fat for my sausage making has finally ended. I had asked all my local butchers and even farms, only to be offered soft offcuts. Grid Iron certainly delivered – quality, firm, backfat!

Native breed or fat.
If you, like me, wish to ensure that all venison from your culled deer is used to it’s full potential then this product will make the “by products”, ie., not steaks or fillets, when minced, become burgers or sausages which have superb texture and flavour.
