Wild Venison & Gin Botanical Salami - 1.3kg apx

Wild Venison & Gin Botanical Salami – ~1.3kg

This distinctive salami is made with 70% wild-shot venison from the Granite Belt and 30% pork fat, creating a lean yet well-marbled texture with an elegant balance of richness and minerality. Infused with gin botanicals, including juniper, coriander, and strawberry gum, this salami is herbaceous, perfumed, and complex, offering a unique fusion of wild game and aromatic spice.

Aged to perfection, this refined, slightly gamey salami can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a bold, punchy red wine.
