Alongside mushrooms, we stock foraged and artisan wild edibles that complement the range — seasonal greens, foraged roots, and protected-origin nuts of exceptional quality.
Seasonal Wild Greens & Foraged Produce
The collection rotates through the year with what's at its best from European foragers and specialist growers. Wild garlic and its buds arrive in spring, alongside wild asparagus from the Mediterranean hedgerows. Summer brings agretti — the saline, grassy Italian sea herb traditionally served with olive oil and lemon. Marsh samphire runs from late spring through summer, and fresh chestnuts arrive in autumn for roasting, purée and stuffings. Fresh wasabi root, grated at the table, appears across the seasons subject to availability.
These are short-season ingredients, foraged or grown to a standard supermarket produce cannot match. The collection above reflects what's available now.
Protected-Origin Nuts
Piemonte Roasted Hazelnuts IGP are the benchmark hazelnut. Tonda Gentile delle Langhe — the variety grown across the hills of Piemonte — is widely considered the finest hazelnut in the world, with a sweet, intense flavour and fine texture no other variety matches. Shelled and roasted, ready to use. Outstanding rough-chopped into a sherry vinaigrette, alongside cheese, in baking, or eaten by the handful. The basis of true gianduja.
Périgord Walnuts AOP are among the finest walnuts in the world, grown in the Dordogne and protected by AOP status. Rich, buttery flavour with none of the bitterness that plagues commodity walnuts — sweetness, density and a clean finish are the markers of true Périgord nuts. Excellent on cheese boards, in autumn salads, folded into walnut bread, or paired with aged Comté.
Storage
Wild greens, samphire and agretti are highly perishable — refrigerate on arrival and use within 2 to 3 days. Wrap loosely in kitchen paper inside a paper bag or open container. Fresh wasabi root should be stored in the fridge wrapped in damp kitchen paper and used within a week. Fresh chestnuts keep for several weeks refrigerated. Nuts keep in a sealed container in a cool, dry place; refrigerate once opened to preserve the natural oils.
