Maplebeck Plain Ham

We have teamed up with two local beekeepers, Matt & Mark and have our own hives to produce our own honey. Bee’s are a vital part of the ecosystem and we are dedicated to helping reduce the slow decline of bees. At the Country Victualler, we never mix our honey’s, so each harvest is small and totally unique in taste and texture. This reflects the changing flora through the spring and summer months. Each glass Jar is engraved with our Country Victualler Branding

All Raw honey will set\Crystallise over time, see the Cooking Instructions for further information

Our honey is cold extracted and simply filtered raw honey and must never be given to children under 12 months of age

A rich and fresh tasting sauce; infused with subtle flavours of garlic and parmesan cheese. A light sauce providing an even and delicious spaghetti coating.

Most commonly referred to as ‘shells’, Conchiglie Rigate cuddle sauces more than any other pasta due to the rigid outer and smooth, deep, cave-like interior. They are excellent with lighter sauces and those with chunky pieces. For our family, these shells are the basis for the most awesome twist on ‘Mac ‘n’ Cheese’; each pasta piece oozes cheese and those oh so cheeky bacon pieces seem to magically hide in the centres for an exhilarating crispy surprise.

Similar to Rigatoni, but with more pronounced grooves that actually swirl their way around the pasta. Hence their name, stems from the Latin ‘torquere’, meaning ‘to turn’. Perfect with simple sauces, zesty salads and fish dishes. Big, bold and mighty in appearance, texture and taste.

Ridged tubes of pasta almost as wide as they are long, with furrows down the outside. Rumoured to be hard to find and unlikely to be appreciated outside of Rome, this stylish number is making its debut in Yorkshire. They are capable of holding a range of sauces, from substantial and meaty to creamy and velvety.

Made with wind, sea and thorns on the West Coast of Scotland, Blackthorn Salt is the ultimate transformative ingredient for today’s kitchen. Poignant and bittersweet, with a taste echoing sea, Blackthorn Salt adds a rolling moreishness to any meal. This attractive 120g Blackthorn box is perfect for as a thoughtful wee present, to include in a hamper or for foodies looking to broaden their salt knowledge and try something different without having to spend too much. We would recommend keeping this wee box out on the table for adding that finishing sprinkle. It’s designed to keep the salt safe, dust free and is handily wide enough to take a pinch, but is also free from any plastics, is sustainably sourced and fully recyclable.

Smoked using cherry and apple wood, these flakes intensify savoury dishes and work remarkably well in desserts and sweet sauces.

Devilishly salty and definitely spice forward. Fermented Chinese Black Beans have a uniquely savoury and satisfying flavour like no other. With fruity notes above a rich, miso-like base, this cheeky condiment can add a SPICY! kick to just about any dish. Splash it liberally on your eggs, rice, salads, and stews. Soup up your soups or top off your tofu. Basically, put it on everything. This stuff’s a game changer.

This devastatingly delicious recipe fuses Japanese and Chinese flavours to spice up any dish. Give your vegetables a kick, jazz up a stir-fry, eggs or avocado on toast; rumour has it it's great on a grilled steak or (shhh!) just eat straight from the jar. Marries well with all egg dishes, poached, fried or scrambled. With a big crusty bit of bread and some crunchy kale perhaps?

This soft, smooth and mellow red has ripe, plummy fruit and is delightfully easy drinking. It is grown in an area where the warm sunny climate and ideal soil conditions allow the quality of the grapes to shine through. Modern wine production methods and carefully managed viticulture result in a wine with a rich, ripe and fruity character of a consistently high quality.

We are very proud to be the sole producer of the supreme and multi-award-winning Alderton ham. “A Rick Stein Food Hero and he knows what he’s talking about”.The Country Victualler is proud to have supplied Alderton Hams to Partridges of Sloane Street since their opening in 1973, also Fortnum and Mason. Created in the small village of Alderton by Colonel Dickinson, late of the Royal Ulster Rifles, his recipe for this deliciously moist and succulently sweet ham with a smokey undertone has been passed down through the generations but never altered. It’s still made today as he originally created it. Steamed and then baked with a traditional Marmalade glaze, to our secret recipe, is what makes this ham a firm favourite with the well-heeled of London and ham lovers across the Country.
