Acquerello's organic risotto rice

THE preferred choice of Michelin-starred Heston Blumenthal and grown by the Rondolino family since 1935 on their farm at the base of the Italian Alps, this Carnaroli rice is aged for over a year giving it a really intense flavour. It also absorbs more stock than other rices while retaining that essential firm texture throughout cooking.

Exclusively at Harvey Nichols Foodmarket, Dundrum.

Supreme cuisine

ANDALUCIAN extra virgin olive oil, jumbo black tiger prawns and Bourbon vanilla ice cream are just some of the goodies from Supervalu's new Supreme range. Each of the 60-plus products in this premium range has been selected from small producers, and we're impressed with the high quality of everything we sampled.

Green and Black's new flavours

THE luxury organic chocolate house has just added two grown-up flavours to their very tasty range. 'Mint' features a fresh fondant wrapped in G&B's signature bittersweet dark chocolate while 'Almond' stars whole Sicilian almonds in cocoarich milk chocolate. The almonds are used with their skins on, which lends a deliciously toasty taste. Both are wonderful served with coffee.
