Mr O’Neill has over 30 years experience under his belt both as a gourmet butcher and chef. In his current location the well laid out food displays tempt the taste buds and attract window shoppers into his store.
His product range extends from free range meat and poultry through the very best of French cheese, Italian hams and pasta to homemade preserves.
The fresh meats on display are a combination of primal cuts, both tied, rolled and stuffed, alongside the finished restaurant cuts, Frenched lamb rack, escallops and sautés. What was exciting for me to see was the traditional method of cutting the requested meat cut from the carcass or primal, all the while ensuring the guest was comfortably informed on the best cooking techniques.
Game was also a highlight on offer, confit of Duck leg, Rabbit and Wild Boar, the latter in several cuts and preparations.
The shop offers an extensive small goods range, fantastic Sausages, Pork pies, and a Pate en Croute of Pork and Porcini that would rival the best in Europe.
Marrying these products with his imported selection of French cheese, Olives, Salads and marinated Vegetables lets the customer create a brunch directly from the Mediterranean.
Over this time it has been a pleasure observing a true artisan at work and can strongly recommend a visit when here in Nelson.
This may appear more as an advertisement than a Blog, I would like you to consider it more of a template on what a true Gourmet Delicatessen has to offer.
