We have worked closely with Claire Martinsen at Breckland Orchard for a number of years and her 'posh pops' are some of our most popular artisan soft drinks. So we were over-the-moon when she contacted us mentioning she had developed low calorie versions of three of her best-selling flavours. Now you can enjoy the refreshing taste of Breckland Orchard pops without any of the guilt.

THINGS ARE CERTAINLY HOTTING UP...
as summer seems to have finally kicked in and the favourable weather hopefully means increased numbers of diners as everyone makes the most of the long summer evenings. Drinks sales certainly go through the roof when the weather is good and this month we see expansions to our Breckland Orchard and Owlet ranges. Both are excellent producers we have worked with for years. Claire at Breckland Orchard has certainly raised the bar with her new low calorie option 'posh pops', which taste just as great as the original. We think they'll be a massive hit. We also have a look at our ever-growing number of American products. We have had a great demand for some of these items and have used our broad spectrum of suppliers to source them for you as we know some of these are often hard to get hold of in this country. Greg's cheese selection this month is a fantastic variety of cheeses from France and England that when served together as a board will impress even the most discerning cheese-lover. A special note must go to the inclusion of Barkham Blue which recently became Supreme Champion at the British Cheese Awards and is a cracker of a cheese! On the Fresh Produce front, cherries are back and if the weather isn't hot enough for you then Cam and Howie's selection of fresh chillies will certainly make you sweat...

INTRODUCING...
SOME LIKE IT HOT...
MICHAEL GALLIA Michael is one of our newer Account Managers having been with us for just over three months. He looks after our customers in the west home counties, including Berkshire, Surrey and Hampshire so will probably be a familiar face to some of you. One of his favourite aspects of the job is seeing the plethora of different styles and approaches to cooking he finds amongst his chef customers, which constantly inspires his own passion for food.No stranger to the restaurant trade, Michael began his career as a pot-wash whilst still in school, and after leaving worked in both Back and Front of House positions before running his own catering company. It might have all been very different for Michael as he tells us that when he was 13 he ran away from home because as a practical joke some of his older siblings told him that as the youngest in the family, he would have to move to Italy and train as a priest... Thankfully cassocks are not part of his life and in his spare-time Michael is a keen angler and loves the odd weekend away with no internet or mobile signal so he can fulfil his life ambition of catching "The Big One".
Use fresh chillies when you want bright, fresh flavours and heat rather than a slow burn in your food. Best when used in quick-cook dishes like salads, salsas, stir-fries or pickle recipes. Priced per kilo, you can order the quantity you need, starting from 100g.
