JAMES WHELAN BUTCHERS

As we approach Christmas, our slow-reared, free-range turkeys have returned from the outdoor meadows to their sheltered indoor barn in Co. Tipperary. Here, they free roam, enjoying an enriched winter diet of creamy oats and fresh water from the farm’s artisan well. Over 20 slow weeks, the birds will lay down a natural marbling, which delivers a delicious succulence and a truly unique flavour. You will taste the difference. Instinctively. These slow-reared Christmas Turkeys are special because they cook simply, carve beautifully, and taste beyond compare.

This really is having it both ways. You get to enjoy a showstopper of a centrepiece and you get to enjoy a stress-free Christmas. This glorious, free-range, Irish turkey crown is prepared off-the-bone: making it a dream to cook, carve, and serve. Slow-reared over 140 days for a lasting impression. You'll savour the juiciness of every mouthful.

This is a wonderful piece of meat. The treatment is faultless. The rearing is clearly caring, reflected in the quality. The curing is light on salt and the sweet yet savoury smoke beautifully balanced. The moist tenderness is exceptional.’

Cured and then smoked using beechwood chips for the best flavour ever. Smoked the traditional way.

Spiced Beef is a true James Whelan Butchers Christmas Tradition. The aromas of Spiced Beef evoke memories of the past and invite people in. We take a beautiful cut of beef and coat it in brown sugar, peppercorns, allspices and berries–now you simply cook it and serve.
