An awesome winter fruit that’s still underestimated in my opinion, but growing in popularity year on year. Best enjoyed when super soft, bringing out its delicious sweetness and flavour.

𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐨🇮🇹
The first of the season has arrived from our direct grower near Venice. Stunning product and always a welcome addition to the range.

𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞💚
Lorenzini is back with the new crop. Lovely, medium-sized courgettes, exactly how they should be.

𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞🍊
Another winter staple arrived this week. We’re working with a new grower under the Mademoiselle brand. The first arrival has gone down really well, lovely and sweet.

Red endives are now in season from late autumn through early spring, with peak flavour and crispness hitting during the colder winter months.

David Duverger has created a beautiful dish featuring our Red Endives, Parisian jambon blanc and Autumn Truffle, which adds delicate, nutty and aromatic notes to the dish.

This distinct strawberry, with its slightly acidic flavour, is back from the Marmandise growers.

𝕆𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖
The beginning of the European season with early Newhall arriving from Italy. The fruit is only just mature and has not been heat-treated, so some skins are still a bit green. The flavour is still a bit acidic but this will improve over the coming weeks.

This is a fantastic product from a very good grower in Essonne. It is visually stunning and the flavour is very pronounced and peppery. Just like the green one, the leaves, stalks and even the fruit can all be eaten raw and are rich in vitamins C, A and B9.

The Portuguese fruit we have been enjoying the last couple of weeks has been a good way of easing us into the European clementine season. The Spanish season is now getting underway which means better graded fruit in a more consistent 7-8kg box. The first variety to arrive is Oronules and is good to eat and looks pretty with the foliage.

This slightly scruffy looking violet garlic is considered by many to be the best flavoured garlic of all. Similar to Lautrec, the Cadours garlic comes from a region in Haute-Garonne in France and is protected by both AOC and AOP status. It is packed in 6kg trays for much of the season but now there are some very attractive 1kg strings available too.

Good news for fig lovers!
We’re being told the Provence fig season should keep going for another three weeks, possibly right through to the end of October.

They’re looking fantastic and eating beautifully, so make the most of them while they’re here!

Apple season is well and truly underway!
Giles from Roughway Farm in Plaxtol, Kent is sending us different varieties throughout the season, depending on what’s looking and eating best.

We currently have the lovely Robijn in stock – crisp, juicy and bang on for autumn.

And finally, one of our autumn favourites is back! Delica squash from Italy is hugely popular year after year and sales are already starting to build.

We get these directly from our friends at Lorenzini, based between Verona and Bologna. Rich, sweet and packed with flavour – autumn really wouldn’t be the same without them!

With Mirabelle coming to an end, there is a short-term replacement available. Chypre plum is a very colourful, round plum, roughly the same size as Mirabelle, that has loads of colour and a good flavour. There is a single harvest so when it’s gone, it’s gone - about 2 weeks.

One of the sweetest autumnal family of fruits that runs into the winter is the Persimmon. This week saw the first arrivals of both the Persimmon, which is hard and is eaten when still firm, and the Kaki, which turns softer and softer as it ripens. They are both sweet, but the softer Kaki probably just edges it for all-round satisfaction. They will be at their peak from the end of October and into November.
