Olives – Mar de Olivos “I am bringing my usual tasty menu of olives and other delicacies from my homeland Andalucia: delicious olives chupadedos, (aka finger-licking olives), brava olives, black organic empeltre olives and manzanilla olives (that I marinate every Saturday before the market) eithe spicy, mojo-picon sauce from the Canary islands, mild flavour with piquillo pepper and sundried tomatoes or stuffed with anchovies and marinated with fresh thyme, lemon and extra virgin olive oil.
In addition to these, I’m bringing pickled eggplants, sun-dried tomatoes, queen olives and lupini beans as well as my collection of organic extra virgin olive oils made with different olive varieties:
- “Finca Duernas” evoo from organic arbequina for those wlikekes mild oils with fruity notes of banana and almonds
- “Unico” evoo from organic picual with notes of tomato on the vine.
- “Finca la Torre” evoo from biodynamically grown hojiblanca olives, a robust oil with notes of green grass and almonds, with a nice peppery finish,
They are all full of antioxidants and vitamins and go really well with other products from the market such as vegetables, meat or fish. Or why not drizzle them on your salads, pasta or even use them for dipping? And don’t forget about the chocolate made with extra virgin olive oil in different flavours, which make an original Christmas present. I’ll also have those famous organic Marcona almonds finished in organic extra virgin olive oil, which are a must-have for your tapas! And come and try the raw, unfiltered and unpasteurised “Avocado Blossom Honey” that’s produced in Malaga, my hometown. It’s a dark amber, robust and creamy honey with a gorgeous rich flavour like molasses…you’ll love it on toast with Arbequina extra virgin olive oil! Remember that you can bring your own container for the almonds or olives, if not we are happy to serve them in our deli cup made from veggies (our personal contribution to reduce the use of plastic). See you on Saturday. Mar”

Cakes – Brett and Bailey “It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Or close enough, anyway. Join us at our lovely local food market as we launch this year’s Christmas range.
Our Great Taste Award-winning luxury Christmas puddings are packed with figs, cranberries and Pedro Ximenez sherry, and finished off with a good glug of VSOP calvados to properly get them in the Christmas spirit. We’ll also have some luxury Christmas cakes with a decadent mix of fruits, soused with bourbon, and topped with either nuts and fruits on a fine dark chocolate slab, or a blanket of marzipan and royal icing (there’s a perky robin decoration too). They’re all handmade with high-quality ingredients and we certainly haven’t scrimped on the booze, so it’s no wonder we sold out of everything over two weeks before Christmas last year. Don’t wait too long to pick up yours. And if you can’t make it to this Saturday’s market then you can reserve in advance at www.brettandbailey.co.uk/

The Terres des Dames La Dame Rouge is a pure and concentrated wine made with Grenache, Carignan and Syrah grapes. Expect a delicious combination of prunes, cherries with leather and rosemary hints. And a very velvety mouthfeel. Lidewij, a successful marketing executive in The Netherlands, started a new life in 2002 when she moved with her 3 young daughters to France to become a winemaker. The vineyards were restored, the wine cellar renovated and the main house rebuilt. From 2012 certified organic principles are applied to both viticulture and vinification. Come taste this beauty!
