Mango sorbet with olive oil

Prepare to be blown away by this flavour pairing. Sweet, fragrant mango with rich, grassy extra virgin olive oil—a dessert you won't stop thinking about.

Time to get your hands on some seasonal mangos! Ok, but what is the craze all about?

Well, the Alphonso variety is available only for a very short period of time each year and it has got a superior texture and flavour—you can literally taste the sun. Though not local, it is one of our favourite ultra-seasonal fruits and such a big treat. They are delicious on their own but take them to the next level by whizzing them into a sorbet with some extra virgin olive oil. Here's the method:

Here's how to make it:

Serves 3-4

Roughly chop up your mangos.
Mix them with lemon juice, sugar, olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Blend all the ingredients together in a Nutribullet or equivalent and... that's it!
Enjoy with a glug of EVOO on top.

Ways to make your own:

Add freshly torn mint on top.
Infuse ice cream with some hibiscus tea.
A bit of chilli could spice things up!

Meet Ana: our olive oil producer from Alentejo, Portugal

Meeting this producer actually changed the course of our business. She became the goal of what an “ideal” producer looked like and established a level of quality that’s truly a rare find in the olive oil industry. As we turn down the roads to get to the farm, the path turns from pavement to dirt. This was our very first “sourcing” trip, after only having worked with our close family friends in Greece. We didn’t really know what to expect or what we were getting into.... But nevertheless, we t...

Why is olive oil so expensive right now? Producers weigh in…

The whole olive oil industry is in flux this year, with soaring prices, global shortages, and an ever-increasing demand for the good stuff. So let’s talk about what’s going on and if there’s any signs of prices going back down. As we were in Crete harvesting what little fruit was in Christina’s groves back in November, our phone rang from another producer, Marianna, in the Peloponnese. She was fighting back tears. We’d had chats throughout the season and we were aware the harvest would be do...
