Can I set a recurring order?

Most of you will purchase as a one-off but you can also set an ongoing subscription (weekly or fortnightly) to ensure you never open an empty fridge again.

This is done very easily from the Basket page. When you want to refresh your order, go to My orders, click Order again, shop as you would normally, then set a new subscription.

There are absolutely no charges for setting up, cancelling or pausing any recurring orders. Just cancel by Sunday midnight which is the cutoff time for orders.

The Products

Is everything organic?

Yes, everything except for the salt.

There are strict controls and checks in place to ensure the food in our shop is organic. All our products are certified – the vast majority by CAAE shown by the organic control code and the EU ‘leaf’ logo on the label. We hold copies of our farmers organic certificates that are renewed yearly. CAAE carries out bi-annual audits of the suppliers under their control and carry out product testing once a year to ensure compliance.

What if the butternut squash I ordered doesn't weigh exactly 1 kg?

We try to find pieces as close to the weight you specified as possible.

When the difference is considerable we may compensate with less/more of other items on your order.

Having said this, we often give more and if you happen to receive any less we always issue refunds.

Are you going plastic free?

Packaging to products in our fresh produce, preserves and bakery sections is plastic-free (with the exception being the softer summer fruits). The same is true of some of the other products.

We currently use paper bags and cornstarch bags for fruit, veg, bread. We are working with our suppliers to further tackle plastic packaging waste.

Are your products gluten-free?

The fruit, vegetables, preserves, eggs and almonds are completely free of traces of gluten.

However, the other products are processed in facilities that process wheat. They are not suitable for celiacs or people with gluten intolerances.

What do you mean by Seasonal?

Seasonal food is grown outdoors in live soil and in direct sunshine. It is harvested at its optimum time of ripeness which gives them better organoleptic properties (taste, smell, appearance) as well as a richer nutritional profile.

For example, tomatoes and peppers only come into season at the height of summer, whereas avocados are in season from October to June.

Is everything locally or regionally sourced?

The vast majority of our produce and food products come from Guadalhorce Valley, in the province of Malaga. Apples need cooleer weather and come from La Rioja, Granada or Alicante and in summer even further north: Valle d’Aosta in the Italian Alps. Pears are also from the north of Spain, bananas from the Canaries and the ginger from Peru.

Most of the flours come from Andalucia. Most legumes, rices and grains are from Spain but some from further afield.

Each fresh produce item states its provenance and we are gradually expanding this to all our other sections so you know exactly where each thing is from.

How should I store the products?

Most produce can go in fridge (if you have the space). Even better in the salad drawers at the bottom particularly leafy veg and peppers. Fragile fruit (strawberries, peaches, berries) should be stored in the middle shelf at the front. Whether you use perforated/breathable bags is up to you.

Fruit and veg could be stored separately if possible but not necessarily. Bananas in particular cause other produce to ripen quickly and along with other tropical fruit don’t do so well in the fridge. Some apples also produce ethylene, causing other produce to ripen quickly.

If there’s something you’d like to see ripen a bit more, you can leave at room temperature e.g. tomatoes, melons or apples.

Garlic, onions, potatoes, and sweet potatoes should be stored in a dark, well ventilated area in the pantry or in a cupboard.

Tomatoes preserve their flavour a bit better outside of the fridge but watch out, they can ripen quickly. Watermelons should not be stored for more than 3 days in the fridge for the same reasons.
