Capreolus Fine Foods is an award winning, family owned artisan smokehouse set in Rampisham, West Dorset, that specialises in the production of cured, air dried and smoked meats and other charcuterie.  Quality and provenance are of the utmost importance to us and we source locally bred and reared meat from traditional breeds wherever possible.

Curing of the meat before smoking follows age-old traditional techniques combined with a flair and instinct for flavour.  Smoking takes place over woods such as alder, applewood, beech and oak – the most traditional of the hardwoods.

Our product range includes: cold-smoked wild venison, beef, mutton and rose veal, smoked duck, chicken, partridge and pheasant, dry-cured bacon, pancetta, lardo, guanciale, cooked hams, confit of duck and pork, smoked ham hocks, rabbits, air dried beef, veal and venison and rare breed suckling pig and other assorted delights.

Capreolus Fine Foods derives its name from the Roe deer whose Latin name is Capreolus capreolus.
