CeleryTraditional Fenland celery as it used to taste!. Deliciously nutty & mellow!. 100% English grown exclusively in the Fenlands. In season & only available October to December. Grown using only Fenland water.Fenland celery is a unique white winter celery that is available to buy from October through to the end of December. A British heritageingredient, whose delicate sweet, nutty taste and clean, crisp texture is owed to the traditional growing methods and rich, Fenland soil in which it is grown. Fenland celery is part of an exclusive club of quality British foods that have earned Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status from the European Commission. This special crop is only available for 8 short weeks... the advice is to get it while you can! Growing Fenland celery is a true labour of love. Grown in wide rows with deep trenches, the crop is tended to using traditional techniques, including a process known as 'earthing up' which involves banking up the rich, dark soil around the celery as it grows. 'Earthing up' keeps the celery warm and protected from the winter frost - blanching the sticks to a distinctive pale white hue.
