Chive Blossom Butter

There is nothing quite like the first new potatoes of the season. Simply boiled or steamed and served with a knob of butter or for an extra special treat add a pot of our limited edition Chive blossom butter. This is a seasonal, flavourful twist on herb butter, made with the mild, oniony flowers of the chive plant. It is creamy, subtly savoury, and visually stunning with flecks of purple petals.

Perfect for spreading on bread, melting over meats or vegetables, and adding a special touch to everyday dishes. A short-season, small-batch treat that brings a bit of luxury to your table – perfect with seasonal new potatoes. £1.90 per pot

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!

It freezes exceptionally well so you won’t be tempted to eat the whole loaf.
