SAVOURING THE SEASON:
COURGETTES

Courgette season sees us all the way from spring to late summer. At the height of summer, we have several varieties, from Paola's serpentine Trombetta to round, yellow varieties grown in Provence and Cornwall. The season starts strong with two Italian varieties: Grezzina and Romana. While both boast thin outer skin, the Romana courgette's is ridged and the Grezzina's is smooth and striped, setting them apart from one another.

We have just begun sourcing our Grezzina courgettes from Raffaele, who grows on stepped land, dug into the steep hillside of Torre del Greco. This is the very same land where he grows his Cuore del Vesuvio Tomatoes.

The rich, volcanic soil and coastal breezes, paired with Raffaele's dedication to minimal irrigation work the same magic on his courgettes as his tomatoes. They grow dense and meaty in texture texture, and richer in flavour. Both Grezzinas and Romanas can and should be enjoyed raw, however Raffaele's Grezzina are also fantastic for roasting, with the sugars in the flesh caramelising nicely under heat.

The season also brings with it blooming Courgette Flowers. We source ours from Italy via a specialist in Milan Market who sources from growers who use minimum intervention. Grezzina and Romana courgettes, along with the flowers, mark the beginning of an abundant lifecycle.

We exist to fix the food system.

People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavour, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.

By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.

Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
