We are featuring two special olives this week:
Nocellara del Belice, whole Sicilian olives, naturally vibrant green in colour, these olives have an amazing nutty, buttery taste! £5.00 per pot and Gordal olives from Andalucia, with a firm bite and mild refreshing flavour. Gordal means the ‘Fat One’ in Spanish – it is a table olive with a profuse juiciness, but not bitter – it has an almost citrus-like taste on the palette. £5.00 per pot
Once again Sea Bass or Salmon will both go perfectly with this week’s recipe – Vietnamese Mangetout Salad. To finish the dish baste the fish in our new Coriander and Chilli Flavoured Butter.
To order go to the fresh fish section and click on sea Bass or Salmon or mention it if you are ordering by phone.
This weeks cheese is the very popular Perl Wen which, is a unique cross between a traditional Brie and a Caerffili. Caws Cenarth in Carmarthenshire use their farmhouse Caerffili recipe as a starting point for their organic Perl Wen (the Welsh for ‘White Pearl’), which gives its soft centre a fresh citrus flavour with a hint of sea salt. Caws Cenarth have been making cheese on their farm in the valley of the river Cych in West Wales for several generations. Thelma and Gwynfor Adams spearheaded the renaissance in Welsh cheesemaking in the 1980s.

Our new potato cakes have been very popular, made for us by All Things Nice in Marple, these are the most authentic potato cakes we have ever tried. They are a substantial size £1.10 each and you can add to your order from Wednesdays onwards.
Our very popular artisan bread will be available from Wednesday onwards. we will have white and seeded sourdough, white and wholemeal cob available every Wednesday and Thursday, Friday and Saturdays we will also have focaccia and French sticks, our bread can sell out very quickly to make sure you aren’t disappointed send us a message or phone the shop on 01457 852456 and we will make sure we save one for you. Bread always seems to be the first thing that people cut out of their diets when trying to cut down, but sourdough not only delivers a tangy flavour that’s perfect for toast and sandwiches, it is good for you, too! The fermentation process for sourdough bread can lead to an increased number of prebiotic and probiotic-like properties, which help improve gut health. It freezes exceptionally well so you won’t be tempted to eat the whole loaf.
