WEST COAST

Legendary West Coast butchery the Blackball Salami Company is taking its meaty treats to the nation, much to the delight of foodlovers and connoisseurs of fine cured meats.

One of New Zealand’s best kept secrets, the Blackball Salami Company is hidden deep in the Wild West Coast of the South Island and is famed for producing some of the finest old fashioned salamis, cabanas, chorizos, biersticks, black and white puddings, as well as a variety of Manuka smoked bacons and gorgeous gourmet sausages.

But a new brand and new nationwide distribution networks mean that the boutique kiwi butchery’s secret is out: No longer an obscure butchery operating out of tiny town, the Blackball Salami Company’s ever increasing popular products are now more readily accessible to all New Zealander’s than ever before.

Using top quality kiwi meats such as the South Island’s best venison, succulent beef and prime pork, the Blackball Salami Company handcrafts a range of 100% lean meat products that are MSG and gluten free, making them an attractive choice for food lovers and connoisseurs everywhere.

An impressive product range of more than 40 varieties of tasty meat treats has been perfected by butcher Phil Russ that cleverly melds kiwi cuisine with the ancient art of European meat curing. Made the good old fashioned way, all products are carefully prepared and cooked and then naturally hot smoked using locally sourced Manuka wood chips to retain authentic taste and flavour. Locally sourced dark ales and select herbs and spices are also important ingredients used to appeal to quintessential kiwi tastes.

“We use only the finest locally sourced meats and ingredients and all our products are prepared to absolute perfection. We take special pride in our old fashioned and meticulous methods – it’s West Coast perfection at its best!” says Blackball Salami Company butcher Phil Russ.

Blackball Salami Co smallgoods can be purchased online via the new website and are also available from leading specialty foods stores and major supermarkets throughout New Zealand. For a full list of products and retail stockists visit the website www.blackballsalami.co.nz
