My isn't time flying! May is only one more night sleep away and then the salami party begins!
Yes that means rain clouds, wellingtons and woollen jumpers, but on the sunny side, you’ll be treated to tasty and succulent salami and other delicious cured Italian meats.
As many of you know, we love a good firm sausage here at Sausages HQ, and now is the ideal time for you artisan foodie producers to get things prepared and ready to go. If you haven't started already, now is the time to get those mincers and sausage fillers dusted off, greased up and ready for action.
Get your hygrometers hanging from now to find the ideal curing space, and start getting your orders in for your salami casings, curing wrap sheets, curing net, and any other supplies you will need.
If you're not familiar with the process involved with salami making or curing meats and would like to give it go, we offer a range of reference materials as well as interactive and practical hands-on classes to help get you started.
Sausages Made Simple courses are the original and still the best.
It’s going to be a very exciting few months here at Sausage HQ and we look forward to sharing the adventure with you.

Cured Meats and Salami Making Classes
Join the Salami Party!
Our cured meats and salami making classes have kicked off this year with great success. There will be sausages hung up, ready for curing all over the country over the next few weeks. Why not join in the salami party and learn to make fresh and succulent produce of your your own?
In our curing classes you will learn the methods involved in producing your very own salami, capocollo , pancetta, prosciutto and other cured Italian meats - ready for drying at home.
We offer practical, hands-on courses, where you will make the fresh produce yourself, which you will then hang and cure at home - as well as our interactive demonstration courses. All courses cover the process from meat, right through to hanging and drying.
Curing your own meats can be a very rewarding pastime when done correctly, and your friends and family are going to love coming to visit when they know what is going to be waiting for them on your kitchen table.
Why not book yourself into a course and enjoy the rewards for years to come. Gift Vouchers are also available for those wishing to purchase a unique gift for a friend or family member.
These classes are ideal for beginners, hobbyist and even experienced professionals.
Our curing classes are currently available for booking and run throughout the winter months. Course dates for July, August and September will be listed shortly.
