MARKET REPORT FOR JULY

AMAZING ingredients this month. We're loving the tomatoes - especially outdoor grown from Provence. French black figs are joining green figs. It’s the perfect time for Charentais melons. These days, imported melons can be disappointing but ours are the very top grade - sweet and perfumed. High season for stone and soft fruit, too: apricots, peaches, plum nectarines and cherries. English cherries eating well and first English Opal plums now appearing. Our Annabel strawberries also second to none. The foragers are back with excellent Caesar 'shrooms, too.
