Manx Nduja
Winner of a 2 star Great Taste Award.
Great Taste Award judge - "A very good looking Nduja with a mature aroma and yet a soft and yielding paste. The meat has some wonderful texture, there is a warming pimenton growing on the palate and a sweet note which balances the heat. A great long finish and a peak of spice lasting long afterwards”.
Nduja has seen a surge in popularity over recent years, particularly as an ingredient to bring spice and colour to the finest modern cuisine. Close Leece Farm is well placed to make Nduja as the quality of the fat is paramount – and there is no better fat than that from a happy Tamworth! We cut no corners and source the finest ingredients and spices. The result is a spicy spreadable charcuterie – a surprise to many, but a treat to all.

Manx Salami
Winner of a 2 star Great Taste Award. Winner of a 2 star Great Taste Award.
Great Taste Awards Judge’s comment – "Super looking salami, nice dark meat with good firm texture and an even spread of fat, easy to cut, fruity in flavour with the garlic and fennel both noticeable in flavour."
A very easy to eat classic salami”
After a trip to Italy and much sampling of artisanal Italian charcuterie we created the Close Leece Farm Manx Salami; a delicate blend of black pepper and fennel seeds with fine wine. The salami is perfect eaten with some fresh crusty bread or with a few slices of mozzarella and a drizzle of olive oil.
100g or 160g vacuum-packed stick. Ingredients – Tamworth Pork, Sea Salt, Fennel, Black Pepper, Garlic, Wine, Demerara sugar, Oregano, Dextrose, Curing Salt, Vitamin C
Manx Saucisson
Winner of a 2 star award at the Great Taste Awards 2021.
Great Taste Awards Judge’s comments – "This attractive salami has an enticing meaty and aromatic nose that translates into a complex flavour profile that grows and grows and lingers long. We loved the chew, the mouthfeel and the fact that the spicing had maintained individual identity whilst melding together well and enhancing rather than overshadowing the flavour of the meat."
Our Manx Saucisson is slow cured and based on classic French recipes. We add spices which introduce notes of garlic, cloves, cinnamon and mace, with a hint of Vodka.
A Manx twist on a classic French style of charcuterie.
100g or 160g vacuum-packed stick. Ingredients – Tamworth Pork, Sea Salt, Garlic, Cloves, Cinnamon, Mace, Vodka, Demerara sugar, Dextrose, Curing Salt, Vitamin C
Manx Bresaola
Winner of a 2 star Great Taste Award, 2021.
Great Taste Awards Judge’s comment – "The slices are just the right size, beautifully rich and deep in colour with delicate marbling and an almost gamey aroma. The meat is incredibly tender and soft in the mouth. The flavours are gentle, coming through in layers with a wonderfully balanced delicacy and complexity on the palate. They linger and develop into an umami finish. If anything it may benefit from a hint more pepper but that's just a personal taste from the Judges. We loved the tenderness and craftsmanship."
A fine example of this single muscle charcuterie. Made from Beef raised in the verdant pastures of the Isle of Man, by our team of expert charcuterie producers. The taste of the beef is clear and the meat is very lean. Our first Beef product and we are very pleased with it!
60g or 2 x 60g packs. Ingredients – Manx Beef, Curing Salt, Black Pepper
Manx Coppa
Winner of a Great Taste Award, 2019.
Great Taste Awards Judge’s comment – "A good natural colour with fine aroma on the nose. Rich pungent taste. Pleasant aftertaste which made the judges want more.. chews beautifully with creamy fat. Melts on the tongue. The judges enjoyed the feeling in the mouth and thought the balance of meat and fat was just right”
The quality of the shoulder joint and neck of our Rare Breed pasture raised Tamworth pigs is exceptional. We have used it in all of our charcuterie and serve it in our café and restaurant with great success. So there was a certain inevitability to us developing a beautiful Coppa. Our master butcher prepares the joint carefully and we hang it for three months following the curing period. The final Coppa has a beautiful marbling and is a treat for lovers of charcuterie. Perfect at the centre of a charcuterie board or served solo with crusty bread and cheese.
60g or 2 x 60g packs. Ingredients – Tamworth Pork, Sea Salt, Demerara sugar, Black Pepper, Paprika
Air dried smoked ham cured in orange, juniper berry and vodka
A "small-batch" addition to our charcuterie range. Fruity juniper berries and oranges with a hint of vodka go exceptionally well with our gently smoked air-dried Tamworth hams.
60g or 2 x 60g sliced packs. Ingredients – Tamworth pork, curing salt, demerara sugar, dextrose, oranges, vodka and juniper berries.
