ORIGINS AND CERTIFICATIONS:
Quality control at Nifeislife has become our mantra. We source all of our meat from one of the finest producers in the UK, HG Walter. We have tried and tested a lot of cuts and qualities and we believe in our suppliers and we like the "family" touch of HG Walter as they prepare, cut, wrap and pack their meats every day freshly for us and for you. HG Walter offers a variety of slow growing traditional free-range and organic chickens to suit everyone's taste. Some of the breeds on offer include a free-range White Rock and a Cornish Red Chicken from Essex which brings back the almost forgotten gourmet taste of years ago. With a gamey flavour and dense , meaty texture these birds have been critically acclaimed by top chefs such as Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal. Other ranges include free-range and organic chickens from the Black Mountain region of Wales and a more reasonably priced naturally-fed barn reared chicken from Norfolk.
