Farm brings spoiltpig
bacon to Bristol and Bath
21st July 2009
spoiltpig
bacon, produced by Denhay Farms, the multi award-winning
makers of the best tasting Dry-Cured Bacon, is
being introduced to people in Bristol and Bath
at a time when more and more consumers are becoming
aware of animal welfare issues.
Based in the South
West and with a reputation for producing “bacon
like it used to taste”, Denhay has worked
with RSPCA Freedom Food to launch spoiltpig –one
of the first ever Freedom Food labelled bacon.
George Streatfeild
of Denhay Farms explains; “We are incredibly
proud of our new spoiltpig bacon as it is the
first bacon we have produced to carry the RSPCA
Freedom Food mark. The pigs we use come from Freedom
Food assured British farms and are reared outdoors.
We believe that consumers deserve to know that
the food they are buying is of the highest standards,
not just in terms of quality and taste, but also
consistent and humane levels of animal welfare.
“Bacon
lovers in Bath and Bristol are invited to come
along and meet the spoiltpig team between 10am
and 6.30pm on:
Thursday
23 July 2009 at Morrisons, London Road, Bath,
BA1 6AE
Friday 24 July 2009 at Morrisons, Cepen Park North,
Chippenham, SN14 6UZ
Thursday 30 July 2009 at Morrisons, Station Road,
Yate, BS37 5PW
Friday 31 July 2009 at Morrisons, Cribbs Causeway,
Lysander Road, Bristol, BS10 7UD
and try some
of our RSPCA Freedom Food approved bacon,”
said George.
spoiltpig
is made to traditional methods and is dry cured
by hand using sea salt. Denhay’s knowledge
and skill in producing bacon has resulted in the
Company winning awards each year – a total
of over 38 medals since 2000 of which 22 were
Gold - from the Country’s top food award
schemes.

spoiltpig

15th July 2009
Denhay
Farms took a stand at the Bristol Food and Wine
fair which ran from 10th - 12th July and gave people

bacon.
"The reaction to the spoiltpig bacon was
incredible - people loved the bacon and love the
bags!" commented Ellen Streatfeild, Sales
Development Manager at Denhay Farm. "We
sold over 300 spoiltpig bags, 1100 packs of bacon
and 144 spoiltcow cheeses, which
was amazing." Ellen continued.

Denhay
Bacon Receives Prestigious Award
13th July 2009
Denhay bacon has once again been recognised for
its high quality and superior taste. Denhay Smoked
Back bacon has been awarded Gold ** and Denhay Smoked
Streaky Gold * at The Great Taste Awards from the
Guild of Fine Food.
This is the acknowledged benchmark for speciality
food and drink. A three-star gold is the highest
level of award any producer can aspire to and is
recognised as the definitive independent accreditation
of quality.
The Great Taste awards judging standards have long
been the most rigorous in the UK. For 2009, they
become even more so. Every entry was blind tasted
by two teams of experts working separately but simultaneously.
Both teams commented on each entry and either team
could recommend foods to go forward to the second
stage.
Throughout every judging session, at least one supreme
jury also sits and tastes. Comprising leading chefs,
food writers and buyers, this jury blind tastes
every entry the first two panels believed worthy
of gold and confirm the star rating each deserves.

A
First for Bacon - NFU Countryside Magazine
25th
March
2009
Denhay
Farms recently launched spoiltpig
bacon which is its first bacon to carry the RSPCA
Freedom Food mark of approval.
Its launch coincided with a new IGD (Institute of
Grocery Distribution) report showing British shoppers
are becoming 'increasingly engaged' with animal
welfare standards when buying food.
Quizzed on concerns relating to food production,
46 per cent of respondents mentioned animal living
conditions compared with 38 per cent in similar
research last year.
George Streatfeild, of Dorset-based Denhay Farms
(www.denhay.co.uk) said the company was 'immensly
proud' to launch the RSPCA Freedom Food-approved
spoiltpig bacon, which is made
to traditional methods and dry cured by hand using
sea salt.
Mr Streatfeild said: "We believe that consumers
deserve to know that the food they are buying is
of the highest standards, not just in terms of quality
and taste, but also consistent and humane levels
of animal welfare."
John Akhurst, Freedom Food's marketing controller
said consumer demand for higher welfare products
such as bacon and ree-range eggs is at an 'all time
high'. |

Another
sizzling success for Denhay Farms
19th
March
2009
Denhay
Farms' new Wiltshire cure bacon is another sizzling
success. It has been selected as a finalist by Love
Bacon in the Annual Bacon Connoisseur's competition.
Judges were looking for exceptional flavour profiles
and outstanding presentation in each of the four
categories - classic dry cure, Wiltshire cure, speciality
cure and smoked cure.
George Streatfeild, MD of Denhay Farm, said:
"Our Wiltshire cure bacon is our very latest
addition to the Denhay range and we are extremely
pleased to have such good feed-back so early on.
Being slected as a finalist is no mean feat."
Wiltshire Cure is the original and most widely known
of the 'wet cures', dating back to the 1840's.
The methods used to create it include traditional
skills which are rarely used in modern bacon production.
Mr Streatfeild added: "We are fortunate
to have found a bacon expert who has years of knowledge
and experience of the traditional Wiltshire curing
method. The bacon is given a fortnight to mature
and this time element is the most important ingredient
next to the quality of the pork." |

For
the best-ever Bacon Sarnie
BBC Good Food Magazine, February
2009
4th
February
2009
"Go
for dry-cured bacon. It releases less water during
cooking and get really crisp. We're big fans of
Denhay spoiltpig - it has a good
pork flavour and just a hint of salty cure, plus
it carries the RSPCA Freedom Foods mark. The pigs
are reared outdoors with free access to a varied
diet and comfortable bedding. Denhay spoiltpig
dry-cured back bacon, £2.69/184g, Morrisons.
Use scissors to snip a few cuts into the fat along
each rasher. This will help it crisp and stop the
bacon curling as it cooks.
Don't butter your bread. Instead, if you've fried
your bacon, brush the slices with the juices from
the pan, then top with your rashers. We like ours
plain, but if you can't resist, add brown sauce
or ketchup." |
