BBQ – Heritage Breed Meat for Open-Flame Cooking

Cooking over an open flame may not be the norm in modern kitchens, but there’s something primal and deeply satisfying about barbecuing over fire. A BBQ reconnects us with the age-old tradition of fireside feasting, where the interplay of smoke, heat, and time transforms meat into something truly special.

Swaledale Butchers offers some of the finest heritage breed cuts, ideal for everything from searing over hot coals to slow-cooking over smouldering embers.

When it comes to BBQ, fat is flavour. The native livestock breeds we farm are naturally richly marbled, far more so than commercial breeds. As the meat cooks, this intramuscular fat melts, creating a buttery texture while infusing the meat with unparalleled depth of flavour - ensuring juicy, smoky excellence on the grill.

The Art of BBQ - Cooking Over Fire for Maximum Flavour 🔥

Great BBQ is all about mastering fire and heat, allowing the natural flavours of heritage breed meat to shine. Whether you’re searing over hot coals or cooking gently over dying embers, the right technique ensures tender, juicy, and deeply flavourful results. Taking the time to let your coals settle at the perfect temperature will reward you with beautifully caramelised meat that’s rich in smoky depth.

At Swaledale Butchers, our heritage breed livestock, properly aged and naturally marbled, delivers a depth of flavour unmatched by commercial meat. During the dry-ageing process, the muscle loses water, which enhances its ability to caramelise quickly - creating the perfect deep, golden crust when grilled over an open flame.

Many of our BBQ cuts are bone-in, helping to retain moisture and enhance flavour. Some are marinated overnight, while others are simply seasoned with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper, allowing the quality of the meat to take centre stage.

At Swaledale, quality and freshness are at the heart of what we do. Our meat is Always Fresh, Never Frozen®, butchered to order, vacuum-packed, and shipped in fully recyclable packaging, ensuring it arrives perfectly insulated and ready to cook.
