Cheese of the month: Old Winchester (Lyburn) Old Winchester is made in Hampshire with a distinctive nuttiness in flavour being a dryer and harder cheese. Made with a vegetarian rennet, it is like parmesan . also a good table but cheese. Old Winchester took the Great Taste Awards 2 Star Gold (2013), Silver at Nantwich Cheese Awards 2013, Bronze at the World cheese awards plus many other awards. Well done to Mike and the team from us all at Harvest Fine Foods.
The month of September originates from the Roman word Septem; the Romans believed the god Vulcan looked after the month.
Fresh Produce Newsletter Tweets @TLHFF September is a good month for most English growers even though the days are getting slightly darker and cooler. Traditionally, this is a good month for fruit and summer vegetables which are joined by the earliest of winter ones. What’s in Season Blackberries, early apples, damsons, early pears, plums, spinach, figs, onions, all of the cabbages, curly kale, marrows, sweetcorn, leeks, red cabbage, beetroot and broccoli are in. English Greengages are now available as well as the plums although they are a little smaller than usual. English Discovery Apples are the ideal apple to go with wild game just as the season begins.
The late planting of most main crop potatoes earlier in the year due to poor weather conditions would suggest only a modest potato harvest this year. However, early indications are looking favourable so fingers crossed for plenty of sunshine interspersed with rain to get the tubers growing, this should produce 'a more normal' potato season (but still a below average harvest) after the shortages and quality issues of last year. Once the main crop potatoes are lifted in September and October they can be stored by the farmer until the beginning of next summer. The spell of hot weather and little rain has caused a temporary supply problem for British Golden Beetroot. English Romanesque and Conference Pears are also late to market this year.

These luminescent perles create an unexpected explosion of taste when their thin alginate (natural extract from seaweed) shells “pop” in your mouth to release flavours ranging from savoury to sweet.
Harvest festivals take place around the end of September to mark the end of the main harvest season. It is a time to give thanks for the crops that have been grown and also to celebrate the end of the hard work involved in reaping them. In Britain, thanks have been given for successful harvests since pagan times. Harvest festivals are traditionally held on the Sunday closest to the Harvest Moon. This is the full moon that occurs closest to the Autumn Equinox (Sunday, September 22, 2013). Read more on our Facebook site: Facebook.com/Harvestfinefood Updates at Twitter.com/TLHFF.
