OUR STORY
Our Scrumptious Ingredients
We choose to bake exclusively with high-quality ingredients for two equally important reasons: Firstly because we believe that every ingredient contributes to exceptional taste; and secondly because we value suppliers who promote sustainable production, farming in harmony with nature, and respecting and giving back to their communities.
Organic farming standards promote sustainable production, the highest welfare standards and vibrant farmland wildlife. Produce and grains must be grown without artificial chemicals or fertilisers, and animals are raised on an organic diet without the routine use of antibiotics.
In all our sourcing we seek to create a positive social and economic effect on the communities who supply our products and ingredients. Please see below for four examples.
Leckford EstateFlour
Our flour is produced by the Leckford Estate, Hampshire. They work alongside the John Spedan Lewis Trust and support their research into biodiversity and and natural history.
Callebaut Belgian Chocolate & Cocoa
Our chocolate and cocoa is supplied by Callebaut of Belgium, whose cocoa is 100% sustainable and traceable. Each purchase supports the Cocoa Horizons Foundation, helping to build self-sustaining farming communities that protect nature and children.
Duchy Organic British Blacktail Eggs
Our organic eggs are laid by British Blacktail hens, raised under Soil Association organic standards. Free to roam, each hen has access to food, drink and shelter at all times, and their henhouses are often powered by wind and solar energy. Eggs are laid in quiet, comfortable nest boxes, and are always hand-collected and inspected by Duchy Organic farmers.
Lescure Butter
We proudly use Lescure French butter, produced uniquely in the Poitou - Charentes region. It holds PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status, recognising its exceptional quality and taste and has no additives, artificial colourings, antioxidants, thickeners or de-acidifying substances.
