What’s New In Food This Month
Holy Moly
If you’re as obsessed with the Holy Moly Guacamole as we are, you’ll be excited about the brand’s latest products. Holy Moly Overnight Oats are a heavenly blend of soft oats, raw almond mylk and fresh fruit puree – each single-serve tropical flavour pot is low-fat, dairy-free, gluten-free, made from a fully plant-based recipe, and has zero added sugars or preservatives. The nutshakes have also caught our eye – low-fat, but deliciously creamy cold-pressed, plant-based shakes made from a blend of raw, unpasteurised almond mylk and fresh fruit.

Kallo Stock Cubes
We love boosting broths and interesting stocks. New from Kallo are these Organic Sriracha and Organic Umami varieties. The Umami will add serious flavour to stir fries and broths, while Sriracha is sure to fire up a ramen or curry.

Pleesecakes
Founded in 2017 by painter-decorator turned cheesecake connoisseur, Joe Moruzzi, Pleesecakes is a no-bake cheesecake company, which found success via Instagram after turning down an offer on Dragon’s Den. From the Christmas range, the Rebel Without A Claus features a rich chocolate orange cheesecake encased in a dark chocolate and praline feuilletine sphere, complete with chocolate orange Kit Kat, Lindor and Terry’s chocolate pieces. Decorated with a white chocolate drip, and topped with homemade candied oranges, raspberries and cinnamon, you’ll also receive a pine wreath and a battery powered fairy lights pack to place around it as part of your purchase.

Mirabeau Belle Année
Award-winning wine producer Mirabeau has launched its Belle Année bag-in-box rosé. The stylish format handily fits into a fridge door and contains the equivalent of three standard bottles of wine. It will also stay fresh for around four weeks once opened, allowing customers a more mindful drinking option, which also reduces waste and is housed within a fully recyclable cardboard box. Chic yet practical, when gatherings and parties return, Belle Année will make a brilliant addition.

Willicroft
Willicroft was founded in Spring 2018 by the grandson of a dairy farmer after he adopted a plant-based diet and couldn’t find a cheese he liked. What began as a pet project has now become his life’s work. The Willicroft ‘This is Not Cheese’ range is both rich in flavour and low in environmental impact. By combining age-old techniques, such as fermentation, with a more planet-friendly ingredient base to create a flavourful plant-based cheese, you can now choose from products such as This is not Cheese Fondue, This is not Classic Cream Cheese, and This is not Grated Cheese Italian Style.

Storywood Tequila
The Storywood Tequila range introduces a Scottish element to the traditional Mexican spirit, by maturing it in single malt Scotch whisky barrels. Speyside 7 delivers caramel, subtly oaky notes with hints of vanilla and honey on an earthy, lowland agave base, while Speyside 14 Añejo is a tantalizingly two-sided tequila – hiding in every deep amber dram are notes of toasted oak, roasted nuts and treacle toffee.
