Chocolate Fudge

If you are sad to have missed out on our chocolate fudge over the festive season, we have great news. Our Old Skool Fudge is on special for the month of Jan. First come first served. Artisanal fudge; handmade in small batches using real butter. Bubbled with love for two and a half hours. Each jar comes with an assortment of Dinah's best sellers, including: Caramel Rolo, Oreo, Rocky Road and Marshmallow.

Farm Butter

On sale while stocks last: hand formed and hand packed artisan butter, made from ethically and locally sourced milk; free from preservatives, colourants, artificial flavourings, bulking agents and emulsifiers. These grass-fed cows are free from routine antibiotics and rBST hormones. The main benefit of grass-fed butter is that it has a much higher nutrient density compared to conventional butter. This means higher levels of Vitamin K2, greater content of Omega-3 fatty acid, 3-5 times more CLA levels and higher levels of Vitamin A and Carotene, which gives our butter its rich yellow color - 100% natural with no colourants 💛 At the moment we are supplying this beautiful butter in 500g salted blocks and 500g cultured blocks, marked down by more than 50% since our latest batch expires soon and there are only a few blocks left.

Thanks for supporting our passionate artisan Elize! Our personal favourite is the chamomile bath bombs. Chamomile contains powerful anti-oxidants including polyphenols and phytochemicals. With added Coconut & Argan oil, this antibacterial, natural ingredient helps to minimize redness, scars and marks, as well as the prevention of eczema, psoriasis and chronic dry skin. It accelerates cell and tissue renewal, reducing the appearance of fine lines.

slow food and gut health

Every persons Microbiome is different so listen to your body and its response to food. Aim for moderation and variety. The more diverse food the better, and the closer food is to its natural state the better for your body. The Mediterranean diet or way of eating has been known to celebrate foods that are highly beneficial to your overall health. The Western diet is typically high in fat and sugar, and low in fibre which destroys prevotella (known to assist with bloating and inflamation). Prevotella is a helpful tool if you are looking to shed extra weight.

Lactobacillus benefits dopamine levels. Be sure to look out for these cultures in yoghurts, sauerkraut, kefir and sourdough bread. And note that basic salt reduces lactobacillus. We offer infused salts that give you a vitamin boost whilst flavouring your food. Bifidobacterium and foods rich in fiber are good for your gut. These include broccoli, blueberries, apples, dates and lentils. A lack of fibre can contribute to a decrease in Bifidobacterium.

Tryptophan assists Serotonin levels. You can find this in foods like apricots, potatoes, beans, seeds and nuts, fish, mozzarella, meat and eggs. Things that can lower your tryptophan in the body include: not enough protein in the diet, too much sugar, too much alcohol and low levels of vitamin B6 in the body. B6 is destroyed by alcohol, and is rebuilt by consuming legumes, potatoes, tuna and salmon. People with low levels of vitamin B6 can have a range of symptoms; including anemia, itchy rashes, scaly skin on the lips, cracks at the corners of the mouth, and a swollen tongue. Other symptoms of very low vitamin B6 levels include depression, confusion, and a weak immune system.

Enterococcus can be found in cheese and raw milk as well as fermented vegetables like olives. Polyphenols are found in foods like berries, tea, coffee, cocoa, beans, spices, olives, red wine, nuts and seeds, olive oil, tumeric and apples. These foods can have anti inflammatory properties: thus playing a role in decreasing IBS and SIM symptoms. Frying your food can reduce Polyphenols. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii can be found in foods like nuts, kiwi fruit, onions, bananas, garlic and leeks.
