Production of air dried and smoked meats takes over 8 months.
Meats are cured in local herbs, garlic, juniper berries, mint, lemon, orange and cloves for over 5 weeks.
The meat is turned every day to ensure moisture and flavour in every slice.
The meat is then hung in drying rooms for 8 months and then smoked for up to 12 hours.
McGeough’s air dried and smoked lamb is quick, easy and convenient to use, it’s also ready to eat which
makes it ideal as a starter either on a charcuterie board or on a green salad with wild berry or apricot and fig
dressing.
It is made using a boned leg of Irish lamb which is first marinated in herbs and spices and then air-dried for six
months in our new state of the art production premises.
Following the drying process, the legs are gently smoked using beech chippings to give it its unique and
distinctive taste.
