This week's market report from Wild Harvest features cep, cherries and sweet cicley as well as a whole host of other fruit and vegetables currently in season which you can see below:
Wild Mushrooms & Truffles
Cep
Bulgaria continues to dominate all that is wild and mushroomy.
Small and chunky girolles – Bulgaria
Mousseron-Bulgaria
St George-Bulgaria
Cep-Summer cep are normally partially consumed by small wriggly beasts before us humans get to enjoy them. Cool temperatures in the Bulgarian mountains are currently producing some real beauties. Cut in half or whole depending on the confidence of the picking stations in the lack of wrigglers.
Hungary continues to ship chicken of the wood, and summer truffles are in abundance from Italy & France.
Fruits
I ate some excellent overpriced French cherries this week. It’s only a matter of time before the rest of Europe and Turkey crop in abundance, and drive down prices.
The same is to be said for early black figs. They are about, but patience will mean you spend less and enjoy more.
Fun yellow watermelons have hit town. Dust of your retro melon baller and pair with truly delicious Charentais melons and
