Our terrine, pate and rillettes are best consumed within three days of opening.
Once opened, it's best to keep charcuterie products in an airtight container (or simply put the lid on the jar) in the fridge until you're ready to finish them off.

Originating from the term "cold cuts" in French, "charcuterie" covers many types of cured or cooked meats.
To enjoy our terrines, pâtés and rillettes at their best, take them out of the fridge 15-20 minutes before you plan on serving them. A great addition to grazing platters, alongside prosciutto, salami, cheese and chutney, or served as a stand-alone entrée. -
The word "terrine" refers to the mould in which the dish is cooked. The product itself is usually a cold-pressed meat, though they can also be made from fish (like our Smoked Salmon Terrine) or vegetables. In France, terrine is typically eaten with some chutney, something pickled and some bread or toast on the side.

Pâté is typically smooth in texture and made predominantly from liver. Terrine is firm and sliceable, made from chunkier cuts of meat such as pork shoulder or duck leg.

Rillettes are a very classic way of preserving meats, using a technique similar to confit. The meat is slow-cooked, pulled apart and jarred with some of the cooking juices which packs in an incredible amount of flavour.
Rillettes really benefit from being taken out of the fridge 15-20min prior to serving them with something pickled (such as our pickled onions) to cut through the richness.

The Free Range Pork & Pistachio Terrine is our most popular; it's hard to go past beautiful Australian pistachios wrapped in smoked pancetta. Definitely try it with a little Dijon mustard on the side.
If you'd prefer something more delicate, our Free Range Chicken, Leek & Truffle Terrine is made from chicken leg and breast, layered with blanched locally-grown leeks and shaved Australian black truffle. It has a clean, simple flavour and is more approachable if you haven't tried much charcuterie before.
