Always one step ahead of the latest trend, The Shops at Dartington has introduced a new and utterly delicious Raspberry Curd.  Available both from the on-site 'The Food Shop' and also online (www.shopsatdartington.co.uk) this versatile spread is set to be extremely popular and joins The Shops at Dartington's exclusive range of sweet and savoury condiments.

Following hot on the heels of the successful launch of The Shops at Dartington's Passion Fruit Curd, this exciting new variety is bursting with berry flavours. Handmade in small batches in Devon, it's delightful on its own spooned straight out of the jar, is perfect for spreading on toast, muffins and crumpets and makes a tasty alternative to jam in a homemade Victoria Sandwich. 

This delectable new line adds to the existing range of The Shops at Dartington's own brand products, a favourite with both locals and tourists alike, as well as good food lovers across the country. Other recent additions to the portfolio of premium condiments include 'Mango and Ginger Chutney', 'Carrot and Coriander Chutney' and 'Tomato Jam'. Sweet yet spicy, the punchy 'Mango and Ginger Chutney' is best served with spiced dishes and is sure to add a kick to any cold meat selection.  With sweet and savoury notes, The Shops at Dartington's 'Carrot and Coriander Chutney' is a real crowd pleaser, whilst the rich 'Tomato Jam' packed with intensity is guaranteed to liven up any sandwich. All chutneys, jams, preserves and curds in The Shops at Dartington range are available in a 320g jar, RRP £3.79 or two for £7.00. 

For those looking to treat food loving friends, The Shops at Dartington's mouth-watering range can be purchased online at www.shopsatdartington.co.uk. There's no better gift for the ultimate foodie than a bespoke hamper or gift set of The Shops at Dartington's divine products. This innovative range also includes fudge, ciders, chocolates and a soon to be launched ale - a distinctive amber ale brewed less than 10 miles away by family run microbrewery, Hunter's.
