Produced in Tarragona, Catalonia from chardonnay grapes. A balsamic vinegar, made by combining reduced grape juice with the vinegar, aged in oak barrels for 3 years. It is unfiltered, allowing the varietal flavours to shine; delicate, sweet and beautifully balanced, it is wonderful with fish. Cook and vinegar expert, Angela Clutton, says "Chardonnay always makes for a fruity, crisp, floral & light vinegar. Excellent for fish, seafood, poultry, salads. Use in any dish with mango or apples, or over roasted peaches. Reduce it down when deglazing a pan or simply bubble briefly in a pan to reduce – doing that brings out its fresher fruit flavours and ups the level of sweetness."

This paprika is produced in the La Vera DOP in Extremadura from peppers that have been grown in one of the 52 villages within the DOP.

Flageolet 'Verdina' beans are a rare variety grown in the lush, rain-soaked regions of Asturias and Galicia, with our latest harvest sourced from Galicia. The name 'Verdina' comes from the Spanish word 'verde,' meaning 'green,' which perfectly captures the vibrant hue of these beans. They are harvested early, before they have a chance to dry in the pod, and are then carefully dried in the dark to preserve their striking colour and exceptional flavour profile. Verdina beans are about 15mm long and flat. They are planted in May and need a lot of water (hence their origin in rainy Northern Spain) before being harvested in November. They are creamy, with a gentle flavour and very thin skin. Click here for a Verdina and Monte Enebro salad recipe. Click here for a Verdina beans and clams recipe.
