A worldwide-known Salt...

Have you ever heard of Maldon Salt? I had heard of it before I came to England, but I hadn't known that it was a small family run business in Essex. Maldon Salt is a high quality, unique and prestigious produce which is still hand-harvested and known all over the world...

The best ham I've ever eaten...

If you are a meat fanatic as I am, I can really advise you to try Wicks Manor Farm's ham. This succulent ham has a great flavour and is available in different types, you can either have smoked or unsmoked ham or even honey roasted ham.

Tasty Ham

Since I tried this ham first, I've never tried any other ham, because in my eyes it is the best ham in the world! Wicks Manor Farm ham is butchered, cured and cooked on the farm in their ham room, which was especially built for this produce. The reason I love Wicks Manor Farm is that the pigs are born and bred on the farm and that they have plenty of space to live and enjoy their lives. Wicks Manor's pigs are happy, and that's why the ham is so delicious. The pigs are sent to a local abattoir before being returned to our licensed cutting plant on the farm. A short trip to the abattoir means the meat quality is fantastic. If you want to try ham, try Wicks Manor's ham and you won't be disappointed!

Tasty Beef from lovely Essex!

I recently tried beef from the Calcott Hall Farm in Essex - and it melted in my mouth like butter! To describe this beef in two words: absolutely brilliant. The beef is locally sourced and hung for 21 days before it is sold and because of this it has a distinctive and outstanding flavour.

Calcott Hall Farm in Essex is a family run business and besides having its own butchery they also grow a wide range of fruit and vegetables.They offer an outstanding quality and it is not really a surprise that they won the "Best Farm Shop" - Award in 2008/2009. I can entirely recommend Calcott Hall Farm. Their beef tastes absolutely fantastic and you can see the devotion they work with to satisfy your needs. Give it a try!

Aspall Cyder - a must for everyone...

Before I came to England, I had never heard of Cyder in my life. As I really love the Counties Essex and Suffolk and their local produce, I thought I should try Cyder which is locally produced. One of my friends recommended Aspall Suffolk Cyder because according to him this was the best Cyder he has ever drunk...
