PARTNERS
Showerings Cider joins us with their dry and gently carbonated cider made with a blend of three vintages. Its delicate balance of sweet and sharpness makes it a distinguished aperitif, perfect to have on its own or paired with food, as a refined alternative to wine. The Showering family have been making cider for over 180 years in Shepton Mallet, Somerset – the temperate heartland of British cider making. Sourced from a single orchard in Somerset, the apples used to make the Showerings’ vintages vary according to the terroir and temperature of each year.
Wholegood supplies fresh produce for our Test Kitchen Club, partnering with organic and biodynamic farmers to champion sustainable agriculture, reduce waste, and empower smarter food choices.
We’re partnering with Popoli olive oil, which has been handcrafted from groves in the Italian region of Abruzzo by the same family for three generations. Made from four different olive varieties — including Leccino, Gentile, Peranzana, and Moraiolo — it’s a bold and peppery blend with a silky finish. At Popoli, olive oil is culture, family, and land, now shared worldwide, one small-batch drop at a time.
We have partnered with Yes Please! Studios for our Test Kitchen, a creative food space in the heart of Hackney created by food & drink photographer Tim Atkins.
