This week’s cheese – Camembert D’Isigny unpasteurised

Our cheese of the week Camembert D’Isigny, made with micro filtered, unpasteurised milk. 

This  Camembert comes from the Normandy terroir, in the heart of the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes Regional Natural Park, and is made exclusively from the finest Normandy milk, which is exceptionally rich in fat, protein and vitamins. The D’Isigny co-operative pay particular attention to each stage of production, to ensure that their Camembert cheeses are of impeccable consistency and quality.

250g £7.50

This camembert is perfect for baking. Just unwrap and place back into it’s wooden box or into a camembert ramekin. Score the cheese into diamonds. Slice 2 cloves of garlic and press into the cuts of the cheese. Drizzle 1 tbsp honey, add 2 tsp thyme leaves and 1/2 tsp salt over the cheese. Bake for 15-18 mins.

This Week’s Fruit and Veg Boxes

Both our boxes this week include the ingredients to make our popular recipe, mushroom risotto, using our delicious punnets of speciality mixed exotic mushrooms. Risotto is a delicious dish and if you follow a few simple steps an easy dish to master – always keep the stock at a simmering temperature, this is important as you don’t want the rice to cool as the stock is added. Stirring the rice constantly will add air into the risotto, cooling it down and making it gluey. But if you don’t stir enough, the rice will stick to the bottom and burn. Agitating the rice is important, because risotto’s creaminess comes from the starch generated when grains of rice rub against each other. So stir it often, but feel free to give your arms (and the rice) a break. Another important tip If your pot is too wide, the rice will cook in a thin layer and won’t be able to bump and grind enough to generate starch. You will just need to add a grated Italian cheese to your risotto which we haven’t included in your box. We have a choice of cheeses which you can add to your order. Grated Grana Padano, which is made throughout the Po River Valley in north eastern Italy, made from unpasteurised, semi-skimmed milk and generally aged for two years. At the end of the cheese-making process, Grana Padano develops a firm, thick and deeply straw-coloured rind protecting the fragrant, dry, flaking interior. Grana means “grainy” in Italian, which is reflected in the fine granular texture with an intensely sweet flavour. We have 80g £1.70 (just enough for this recipe) or Hand cut 18 month matured Parmigiano-Reggiano which has a stronger, more complex, nuttier and saltier taste than Grana Padano. £6.00 approx 200g. 

We have included baby leaf spinach in both boxes, wilted spinach with butter and lemon zest, alongside roasted potato wedges make a delicious evening meal with our fish of the week, sea bass. 2 fillets £12.00 add a pot of our speciality butter £1.60

There’s nothing quite like a handful of plump English blackberries this time of year, perfect for crumbles, porridge, or straight from the punnet. 

Add them to your order this week and enjoy the freshest flavour of the season.

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.
