The seeds of Sedgwick’s Charcuterie were sown many years ago with possibly the most romantic Christmas present ever - a sausage stuffer! Initially buying pork from friends, we experimented with many a homemade sausage. Our recipes gradually became more complex and, following family holidays to mainland Europe, we began to incorporate European charcuterie methods into our sausage making and cures. Our trips to France, Germany and Andalucia gave us inspiration to try different techniques and recipes, and we were soon making air dried hams, chorizos and salamis at home.
The next step - and a huge one at that - was quitting the day jobs and moving to our current smallholding where we could raise our own pigs, as well as grow most of our own veg, and rear chickens, ducks and guinea fowl for eggs and meat. Following a few more tasting trips to Europe - including a week touring the Artisan Norcini (pork butchers) of Tuscany - we took the step to convert an outbuilding into a butchery and curing cave so we could begin to make and sell our own charcuterie.
An authentic tale of craft and graft, spuds and science, small-scale quality and big ideas. At its root is our family’s affinity with the land, a bond which inspired the creation of Ogilvy premium potato vodka. Our family, the Jarrons, have farmed the land at Hatton of Ogilvy farm since 1910. In the early years workhorses were crucial for cultivation, until new methods and machinery arrived, but cattle and crops have been raised throughout our family’s tenure. Sustainability has also always been present at Ogilvy Farm, where we never neglect the past, but are equipped for the future. The advent of solar panels offers a case in point; a green means of powering old-fashioned farming values as well as a new micro-distillery. People provide the farm’s pulse. Graeme Jarron heads up Ogilvy’s operations, alongside wife Caroline; a fusion of rustic know-how and metropolitan chic that’s proved a fruitful mix. Keeping it in the family, Graeme’s father Eric still harvests our potatoes, which grow a stone’s throw from the farmhouse B&B run by his mother, Grace.

In 2011 John & Gregg also teamed up to guest host Have I Got News For You for BBC1. They are the first ever duo to co-host the satirical current affairs quiz.
John's TV programmes regularly attract a huge audience. Indeed MasterChef's popularity has placed John & Gregg on the front cover of several magazines including the Radio Times and spawned three cookbooks to date (namely The MasterChef Cookbook, MasterChef At Home & MasterChef Kitchen Bible) and there's even an iPhone app for that! Sainsbury's Magazine readers even voted MasterChef as the Top TV Food Show of the Decade and it has been included in the Top Ten list of the most Sky Plussed shows of the year. John has also been a hit on Good Food (formerly UKTV Food). He teamed up with comedian Hardeep Singh Kohli for a 10-part series exploring the diverse culinary communities of multicultural Britain. New British Kitchen — Torode and Hardeep's Tour aired in May 2008 on UKTV Food. Within the first week the show was already proving a real success, overtaking the rest of the channel's ratings.
