Moyallon 3 Sweet Bacon Ribs – HANNAN MEATS
What the Judges said..
Peter Hannan has worked his meaty magic on these bacon ribs, which are cured to a traditional recipe and then sweetened in a sugar pit for 10 days. Our Great Taste experts loved the contrast in textures between the crisp edge, soft fat and succulent meat, finding the strong sweet and salty flavours to be in tune and perfectly balanced.
Himalayan Salt Aged Rib Chop – HANNAN MEATS
What the Judges said..
The 12ft high solid wall of hand–cut Himalayan salt bricks in Hannan Meats’ dry aging chamber is fast becoming something of legend. “A fabulous, juicy rib chop,” said our judges. “This has so much flavour and the fat is like butter. It is everything you would hope for and more.”
Himalayan Salt Aged Tagliata – HANNAN MEATS
What the Judges said..
Dry–aged for a whopping 40 days, this tagliata is a handsome piece of meat that packs huge depth of flavour. “The most gloriously beautiful joint of beef we have seen in a while,” said our Great Taste panel. “The fat is amazing.”
Himalayan Salt Aged Rib of Beef – HANNAN MEATS
What the Judges said..
“Pure beef genius,” said our Great Taste experts of Hannan’s rib of beef that has been dry– aged in a salt chamber for a minimum of 28 days. “Melts in the mouth,” said judges who went on to applaud the flavoursome fat and tender texture of the meat.
Himalayan Salt Aged Fillet Steak – HANNAN MEATS
What the Judges said..
A very special fillet steak that is dry–aged on the bone. Hats off to another exemplary piece of meat from Peter Hannan and his salt–aging chamber. Judges said the steak carries a wonderfully balanced flavour and delivers a great aftertaste.
