New blog post about our cooking oils.
There has been some internet controversy about different oils. In this post we look at the evidence.
Plus why we stock the oils we do, and the best way to use them in your kitchen.
Bring your own bottle to refill, or use a free bottle from the bottle bank.

We stock many of these ingredients including Suma cannellini beans, harrisa and eggs.

Warning: these Cannellini Bean Fritters may not make it to the picnic. 👀🧺

Golden, crispy and dangerously snackable, they're the kind of thing you tell yourself you'll save for later... right before eating three straight from the pan.

Made with creamy cannellini beans, they're bringing plenty of plant-based protein, fibre and feel-good energy to the party, while STILL feeling like a treat.

Pack them up for a picnic, a lunchbox or simply enjoy them standing in the kitchen with absolutely no regrets.

We have updated our price comparison poster 🤩
This is one of our most popular posters and regularly stops people in their tracks.
We aim to compete with the organic range (or close equivalent) at Sainsburys as much as we can.
In some cases our products are cheaper than the non organic option!

The hero on our shelves: our refill olive oil from Zoi 🫒
It's a regeneratively farmed, cold pressed Greek olive oil from a small family grove, and because it's on tap, you bring your bottle, fill what you need, and pay only for the oil. No glass to recycle, no plastic.
Brilliant drizzled over tomatoes and basil, stirred through warm new potatoes, or splashed onto sourdough with a pinch of salt. Summer in a bottle.
Refills from your favourite container, anything clean with a lid works 🌞
Need a bottle? We have a free used bottle bank. and we have new bottles to buy.
Check out more about them in our blog post.
