    Used to make South African sausage (“Boerewors”). Excellent texture and taste.

    I asked for thick cuts and didn’t receive them. I have persisted and made Lardo and whilst good for cooking I am unable to to use it as an antipasti as it is too tricky to slice into decent slices.I will try again in the future to obtain thicker cuts.

    The picture showed proper back fat. Thick and at least 2 inches. What I get was pieces of very thin fat. Quality was really good but what I expected.

  13. Andrew Sturmey (verified owner)

    The product is great, but not so good is being completely ignored when emailing twice (25 June and 5 July) asking how long this product will last in the fridge or indeed, whether it should be divided and frozen in smaller pieces. Very disappointed at this lack of courtesy and still awaiting response!
