BRITISH, SEASONAL AND SUSTAINABLE PRODUCE CHAMPIONED EACH MONTH BY CHEF CRAIG HENNESSEY AT THE ROBIN HOOD INN
CHAMPION OF THE MONTH British apples are the best tasting in the world. And it’s all down to the mild climate.
Regular rainfall helps to produce a juicy apple, cooler temperatures bring a crunchy texture and a dash of British sunshine develops that distinctive, delicious flavour. With hundreds of varieties available, there’s a Great British apple to suit any taste.
Now in their fourteenth growing season, Eva's organics produce an amazing variety of local organic fruit and vegetables right here in Cumbria, in their market garden at Low Luckens and orchard in Carlisle.
If you care about healthy eating with a home-grown flavour, traditional hands-on gardening that cares for the land and the life it supports and unbeatable seasonal choice, then eva's organics will work for you
Hand selected organic apples, harvested from their small orchard. They press the finest, freshly picked apples in small batches to create a juice bursting with crisp and refreshing flavour.
Free from added sugar, sweeteners or any other unnecessary additives.
It is the time of year for our most favourite Cumbrian combination!

COOKING
Always give apples a good scrub and rinse, supermarket bought varieties are often heavily sprayed with chemicals and pesticides. If peeling or slicing apples, drop the pieces in water acidulated with lemon to stop the turning brown.
