Visit to Emmett’s of Peasenhall
I went to visit Markand the team at Emmett’s of Peasenhall in deepest Suffolk yesterday. There’s been a shop on the site since 1820 and they are one of very few producers of genuine Suffolk hams still in existence. The shop’s a shrine to the bacon curer’s art and still boasts some of the classic old slicers that go back generations.
Just as we are about our smoked salmon, Mark is justifably proud of the tradition he perpetuates at Emmett’s and is more more than happy to show customers the historic smokers out the back of the shop and the racks of sweet hanging hams and flitches of bacon. Pork comes from free range farms within 25 miles of the shop and every ham is prepared by hand and with real passion. We ate freshly smoked raw bacon, the finest mouthful I’ve had in months.
Look out for Emmett’s hams and bacons in our new catalogue later in the year.
