HOUMOUS

Houmous & Vegetables

It took lots of tasting to find our perfect houmous, our suppliers based in Lancashire, a family run business since 1900, are suppliers of fine food and cheeses, their houmous is a simple blend of chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Our customers agree with us that this is definitely the best tasting houmous, great for dipping and layering on sandwiches £3.30 per pot 330g 

This Week’s Cheese

Our cheese this week is Isigny Sainte-Mere Petit Camembert made from raw cow’s milk, known in the local area as white gold! it is this outstanding raw material which allows this cheese cooperative to make a Camembert that never fails to take on a beautiful colour as it ripens, with a heady perfume. Milk from the farms in the cooperative have a naturally occurring lactic bacterial flora which are unique to the Isigny terroir. Because they are present in Isigny Sainte-Mère Camemberts, the taste is sufficiently distinctive for experts to identify the cooperative’s cheese in a random batch of Camemberts.

Delicious on your cheese board served with honey and walnuts or baked with garlic and herbs.

Flavoured Butters

Fresh Artisan Bread

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.
