10 flavours to savour this month
Make your kitchen cupboards instantly aspirational with these must-have products for October. From smoky sandwich fillers to sweet, Scandi-inspired desserts, they’re bringing cosy, rich, fireside flavour to this year’s autumnal eating.
Nodini mozzarella
The creamiest mozzarella curds are expertly twisted into these nodini (little knots) – a very chic addition to your next picky tea. They’re made by hand in Puglia, and are prized for their extra surface area, which helps them soak up even more olive oil.
Hickory smoked salmon
New No.1 Hickory Smoked Salmon is as smoky as salmon gets (while still retaining that edge of subtlety) thanks to 30 hours over mesquite, apple, hickory and oak wood chips in traditional brick kilns.
Sherry vinegar
Really good vinegar makes all the difference when dressing salads and brightening stews. The depth of flavour in Belazu Gran Reserva Sherry Vinegar is thanks to a decade in oak barrels. Ridiculously good on fish and chips.
Giant marshmallows
Gear up for bonfire season with Epic Giant Toastin’ Marshmallows. Naturally, they’re fantastic when caramelised over a fire and sandwiched into s'mores, but they're just as flamboyant in a maximalist hot chocolate.
Black beans
The brand that made legumes glam is back with another incredibly versatile jar. Bold Bean Co Queen Black Beans can be used for all your little Mexican numbers, but also crisped in traybakes, stirred into grain bowls and piled onto soups.
Cured beef
Make mega sandwiches and superior salads with Old Hardisty Smoked Ale Cured Beef. Combine with rocket and parmigiano reggiano for tasty Italian vibes or lean into its Yorkshire roots and smother with horseradish.
Pecorino cheese dip
This dip doesn’t come with a lid, but it’s not a problem – no spoonful of No.1 Creamy Pecorino Dip will be left for another day. Even the classiest of crudités, crackers and crusty bread are mere vehicles for its deliciousness.
Cinnamon bun pud
Steamed up windows and the sweet fragrance of cinnamon are key players in the autumnal vibes portfolio. Add a bowlful of this pudding and your kitchen will be as cosy as a candlelit Scandi cafe on the shortest day of the year.
