MORE ABOUT TEMPUS NO.8 

Tempus No.8 is a soft spreadable salami paste, which is fully aged and a ready to eat product. Perfect for melting in a pan, it’s great when wanting to add flavour to a traditional pasta dish. Or spread it on almost anything, whether this is on cracker as an evening snack or on a toasted crumpled topped with prawns. 

HOW DO WE MAKE NO.8? 

We harvest the salami, remove its natural casing and then pass the fully aged product through a fine grinding plate, finally we mix through the fresh spices to complete the process.

Tempus No.8 is truly like no other product on the market. Its identity is its own.
