Melt In The Mouth Calves Liver
Bursting with flavour, extremely soft and tender, our grass-fed calves liver really is 'melt in the mouth' delicious. It has a fairly strong flavour (the longer you cook it the stronger the taste becomes) so is fantastic to add to stews and casseroles, as well as enjoying on its own pan-fried with some creamy mash and spinach. 1 Kg packs available as a whole or sliced.
