Ask any chef – good food is all about using the very best ingredients.
The current trend towards fresh, high quality foods, simply cooked, means that using the right oils and condiments both in cooking and finishing dishes is more important than ever before.
There’s a bewildering choice available to the gourmet. Olive oils can be as variable in taste and character as red wine, so it’s important to choose the right one to complement each dish.
As a small family business, passionate about food, we have the time to consider our choices carefully and have selected a comprehensive range of ingredients to suit all tastes (and pockets!).

A.O.C Huile de Nyons
This is our favourite oil at the moment. It has a wondeful sweet green apple, almond and hazelnut flavour and a luscious, buttery mouthfeel. There's very little bitterness or peppery heat so it's ideal for people who want a full flavoured but less assertive oil. click here for more
