Problem Solver
Jasper Aykroyd
Areas Jasper Aykroyd is Knowledgeable in:
Although my reputation has been earned in Food Preservation and Cured Meats, my 20 years in the food industry has left me armed to tackle all kinds of situations. In particular, sustainability, multiple bottom line, technology, efficiency, and most of all, innovation and NPD.
I have 2 approaches:
Holistic: By understanding the entire context of a given task, bring forces to bear upon the objective that others may not have considered and at every tier.
Hacking: by understanding how something works at its simplest and most minute level, building a solution from the bottom upwards without the constraints of conventional or pre-existing solutions.

Jasper Aykroyd's Problem Solving Experience:
- Inventor of a novel way to speed-up traditional dry curing, even at the lower temperatures used by today's large processors.
- I am the only person who currently knows how to properly CURE meat in the traditional sense, without the use of FDA or EU permitted preservatives. It is officially considered by DEFRA and the FSA to be scientifically impossible at this time, but studies commissioned to examine the issue did not provide a platform for creative thought or problem solving and missed a unique opportunity.
- I re-discovered the worlds oldest known starter culture in meat preparation, and oldest example of nitrite use (Israel)
- I have invented a method for extremely high quality, artisan dry-cured hams which can be made and cooked within a total time of 48hrs.
- Inventor of novel methods and ingredients for dry curing such that a much wider variety of flavours can be produced
