August News
Welcome to August's newsletter, a little late as we have been busy !!
A wonderful start to this month with mediterranean weather to greet us on our return from Italy. We have also been very busy with stocktaking and Sunday market which have been wonderfully busy.
Summer salads in this heatwave is an ideal time to invest in some nourishing healthy organic extra virgin olive oil to sprinkle on all types of food and enjoy the flavours of a meditteranean diet.
Our new season Canenese DOP is just the ticket. This EVOO is our highest quality oil packed with polypheonols and antioxidants produced from pitted Canino olives with a wonderful aroma and taste for all your dressing needs. Awarded Slow Food Italia Presidio not only for its high quality but also methods of organic production which ensures the olive groves are cultivated in ways that provides a fertile environment for future generations.
The new season Limited Edition Rose label which has been one of our most popular oils and has been awarded recognition in Italy with 5 star or rather '5 drops' award. An EVOO encompassing three varieties of olives for those needing a stonger taste.
This is a limited edition olive oil -- only 2,000 bottles are produced every year! These olives grow in the fertile volcanic soil surrounding Lake Bolsena.
The Frantoio EVOO is a creamy and slightly peppery oil which goes wonderfully well with salads.
We have also offers on 2 X small infused for £12.00 and 2 X tall infused for £16.00 as well as reductions on the following :
5 x small infused gift box at £32.00 and 4 X tall infused at £30.00
Unfortunately we have now totally sold out of our 3L tins. Although we managed to bring some back with us from Italy, an order for the 3L tins from Tropea Restaurant in Birmingham as well as demand from our regular customers has resulted in selling out of this popular product. The good news is that they are now on ordr but the bad news is that they will not be shipped until late August as Italy is now celeberating Ferrogusto, Basically a month long holiday when nothing moves in Italy !!
We do need to mention that the farm will no longer be producing its wonderful pasta as production is becoming too time consuming and expensive. We still have some in stock so if you need to stock up do let us know. Meanwhile we will be looking at sourcing from other suppliers with similar quality.
The Cambridge BID Customer Service Award competition has now finished and we just want to say thank you to all of you who took time to give us a review. With great anticipation we will be waiting to hear the results as to our level of service and reflect on what we can do better. Thank you again for taking time to answer the questionaire.
Look forward to seeing you on the market.

Why Organic EVOO ?
Benefits of EVOO
If you are searching for that special Olive Oil, looking at the label is important. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is the highest quality with no more than 8 percent acidity and preferably from a single producer ensures that the oil has not been blended with often inferior oils. The designation DOP - Protected designation of Origin- would guarantee an oil of finest qualities as in IL Molino's Canenese Tuscia DOP. Simply the juice of the olive without any additional ingredients including heating.
So Olive Oil is a pure and natural food, a rarity as many of our foods tend to be processed in one form or another.
Regarded as one of the healthiest foods you can eat as evidenced by research into the Mediterranean diet.
The production and use of Olive Oil has been around for thousands of years with evidence of its use in Iran, Syria and Palestine before spreading to the Mediterranean basin. Not only as a food but because of its special qualities, its use stretches to religious ceremonies, in medicine as well as skincare.
Although the oil produced from olives is a fat - which tends to have a negative connotation - the oil from olives is one of the healthiest fats due to the presence of monounsaturated fats, polyphenols as well high levels of antioxidants which are proven to have great health benefits in reducing risk of heart disease, improving skin condition, brain function as well as having anti-inflammatory properties.
The Oils
