As a venue that works with Cornbury House Farm and other regional producers, we know how much work goes into producing food and recognise what a precious resource it is. Harvesting and delivery processes, for example, often must be accurate to the day or just a few hours so that food can be preserved and supplied to us all - and we want to respect this wherever we can. Therefore, we use a few techniques to minimise food waste. Our head chef Ben explains: “We like to get the most out of seasonal produce the old-fashioned way. Pickling, jamming, and preserving seasonal fruits and vegetables that are no longer available. Green gauge plums, for instance, have such a short season that we bought them on a large scale at their peak. We then served them fresh with chocolate sorbet and cobnuts in the late summer and turned the rest into a chutney to be served with our selection of British cheeses.” With this attitude and the right preservation techniques, we constantly try to make the best possible use of our food stocks. After all, this allows us to serve you more of the best that local British producers have to offer! Curious about food at Dave’s?

Among the recommended practices for the grape harvest is to avoid picking grapes during the hottest hours, as in such conditions, they are more prone to damage and dangerous fermentation processes. It’s no coincidence that in the hottest regions of Italy, night harvesting is practiced to take advantage of cooler temperatures. This saying refers precisely to the idea that a light, refreshing rain can allow for a harvest less affected by the heat. These days, some areas of Italy are experiencing heavy rains. Will this saying still hold true? We wish all producers the best for this 2024 harvest, and we can’t wait to taste the result of your hard labor! 🍇 #wine #italianwine #naturalwine #italnaturalwine #organicwine #wine #winestagram #winesocial #harvest #italy #italyfromtheground #september #grape #idiom

This message is to provide advance notice to importers of fresh fruits and vegetables that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) will be implementing temporary import conditions for U.S. romaine lettuce again this fall. This temporary measure is intended to mitigate the higher risk of E. coli O157 contamination of romaine lettuce grown in the Salinas Valley, California, during the fall months. Similar measures were implemented in fall 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. From September 28 to December 20, 2024, importers of romaine lettuce and/or salad mixes containing romaine lettuce will be required to comply with temporary additional Safe Food for Canadians (SFC) licence conditions. During this period, the CFIA will require importers to submit attestation forms and Certificates of Analysis to confirm that the romaine lettuce does not contain detectable levels of E. coli O157:H7 if the lettuce was grown in the Salinas Valley. A Proof of Origin will be required for U.S. romaine lettuce products that are from areas outside of the Salinas Valley. Please visit CFIA website for full news release: https://loom.ly/VcEiWM8 #foodsafety #food #lettuce

One of the primary purposes of using salt during the aging process is to prevent excessive meat loss. To achieve sufficient saturation levels, it's crucial to use a substantial amount of salt rather than just one or two slabs. By following this process and using salt, you can expect a meat loss rate of around 10-15%. However, if you skip the salt, you can expect a much higher loss rate of 40% or more.

🥔 It’s time to celebrate the first #InternationalDayOfPotato! Potatoes are enjoyed in different forms and recipes all over the world, making it a delightful experience for consumers and professionals alike. But how much do you know about the industry that makes fries, croquettes and pomme duchesse? 🇪🇺 More than 90% of #potatoes used for processing in Europe are grown in its North-West corner, the main production area for potato processing where fries (chips) and multiple other potato specialties are prepared. The potato processing sector has an important footprint in Europe, providing direct jobs to 25.000 people and producing an annual volume of French #fries and potato-derived products of 6 million tonnes. In the EU, over 47 million tonnes of potatoes are harvested in a year, contributing to produce around 6 million tonnes of tasty French fries and potato-derived products.
