We chose this bresaola because it quietly proves that British charcuterie can reach the highest level of craft. From the moment we tasted it, we were struck by the lean, tender beef cured with that true depth of flavour only time and patience can bring.

Makers Tom and Dhruv draw on Michelin-level skill and a fierce commitment to sourcing — choosing older, ex-dairy and ex-breeding cattle whose deep marbling and maturity build unmistakable richness. Their facility in Surrey becomes a quiet stage for tradition, technique and bold flavour.

The branding is thoughtful, the production exceptional, and the result is both elegant and powerful: silky meat, savoury richness, a lingering finish. This is exactly the kind of local-maker story we love championing — authentic, refined, and rooted in British craft.

It also brings a beautifully savoury counterpoint to the sweeter and lighter elements in our Celebration Box, adding depth and a touch of culinary luxury that elevates the entire experience.

Tempus was founded by Dhruv Baker and Tom Whitaker — two chefs who met on MasterChef, bonded over a love of bold flavour, and went on to build one of the UK’s most celebrated charcuterie brands.

Their shared obsession with depth and complexity led them to study traditional European curing techniques, flavour science, and the role that time plays in creating exceptional food. But they didn’t want to imitate continental traditions — they wanted to reimagine them using the best of British farming.

Tempus works exclusively with ex-dairy and ex-breeding animals — older, slower-grown livestock whose natural marbling and maturity deliver far superior flavour. It’s a sustainable approach that celebrates animals that have lived long, productive lives, while also producing charcuterie with incredible richness and character.

Every cut is cured slowly and respectfully in their Surrey facility, resulting in meats that are nuanced, elegant and unmistakably Tempus. This is world-class British charcuterie, shaped by patience, expertise and a genuine love of flavour.

Tempus’ British Bresaola is charcuterie at its finest — lean, tender beef carefully cured with spices, then air-dried until the flavour becomes intensely rich and concentrated.

Made in Surrey by master curers Tom and Dhruv, Tempus uses only ex-dairy and ex-breeding cattle, chosen for their marbling and maturity. This means deeper flavour, better texture and a more sustainable approach to British meat.

The result is a bresaola that’s silky, savoury and beautifully complex, with notes of warm spices, cured beef sweetness and a clean, lingering finish. Slice thinly and enjoy as part of a grazing board, with fresh rocket and Parmesan, or simply on its own with good olive oil.

It’s British charcuterie that stands shoulder to shoulder with the best of Europe — refined, responsible and utterly delicious.
