Zaytoun is a Community Interest Company founded in 2004 create and develop a UK market for artisan Palestinian produce. Members of the World Fair Trade Organisation, they launched the worlds first ever Fairtrade olive oil in 2009, and we now have this in stock in Bruton Wholefoods. Zaytoun’s olive oil won ‘commended’ and ‘commended by consumer’ in the Soil Association organic food awards 2011, so we hope you like it too.

Since 2004 the Zaytoun range has extended, and we’re now also stocking a range including their premium ‘Om Al-Fahem’ almonds (including honey roasted and smoked flavours), and organic tree ripened black olives.

We also have Zaytoun’s organic matfoul (cous cous). It looks good: large grained, wholewheat, sundried and reputedly with a nutty flavour: we’re looking forward to hearing your feedback on it!

If you’d like to know more about the products, ethics, awards etc do check out Zaytoun’s website at: www:zaytoun.org, but in the meantime – why not just come in and try some?!

and some beautiful bunches of mixed kales

the difficulty will be in deciding whether to put them in a vase or eat them – but better buy them first because they won’t be here long! 😉

Thanks for the extra delivery @Riverford: nearly all gone already!

Bruton_wholefoods_053_1

Starting tomorrow we’ll be getting deliveries from Riverford Organics on Fridays as well as Tuesdays! Great news!

 

… however this is January, and seasonality is something we believe in.

It may be blustery outside, but we’ve got hot toddy ingredients aplenty! OK – no alcohol – but with Montezuma’s chilli drinking chocolate, Rochester’s spicy drinks, and fresh lemon and ginger – who needs booze?! 😉

Busy busy day, with people buying presents as well as edibles!

Bruton_wholefoods_048

Apart from our usual, glorious fruit and veg, we also have some very impressive toiltries in stock.

Not to mention a DVD on Seated Yoga, with a special price of only £15 (RRP £17.99): it’d make a great present, maybe for someone less mobile, or who wants to loosen up a bit whilst stuck at a desk?

And just to give you advance warning of our Christmas opening times: we’ll be closed on Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th December, but back as usual on Wednesday 28th!

Lovely to see John Rowswell pop in with a fresh delivery of vegetables today.

These are the most beautiful garlic: plump, luscious cloves fantastic for roasting as whole heads, and pretty enough to give as gifts. We’re selling them either as individual heads or as strings.

Brussell sprout trees too! Very festive!
