I am a keen chef at home and i can honestly say that the olive oil is far superior to any supermarket options. Seriously, everyone that has tried it has absolutely loved it- so i would take that as a major compliment. You have to order some!

Cheers

I called in this week just in case the pomegranate molasses was ready. It wasn’t, but I bought the candied walnuts and some marinaded olives, delicious. I had a long chat with Mehmet who told me how after a good review of their oil the Daily Mail offered him a cut-price advertising space as if it were a great favour. He told the Mail that there was no point as it would clean him out of his stock. So bring some in from outside, they said. He had to explain that the whole point was it was his own oil from his own farm. (Duh!) Anyway he never needs to advertise!

I also met their beautiful pussycat, a little shy, but who let me scratch its head.

Yes, i remember the ole hardware shops. i think they say “no call for it” now.

seemingly i use that phrase out of irony all too often these days.

Its a matter time until all these shops become solicitors and estate agents. plenty of call for them apparently!

Keep it up Mem, Mo et al.

I used to work a few door down from this shop and bought stuff from it regularly….that was before 2000 though, so the only oil I remember there was 3 in 1! …..I’m glad it’s still there though; so many similar places have closed.

many thanks for the write up and the replies it is always very much appreciated, and makes me feel that what i do is worth while

in reply to Cherub regarding pomegranate molasses my suggestions are as follows
use as a salad dressing with olive oil, especially on a freshly grated carrot salad

drizzle on your ice cream

dip your strawberries in

marinate your chicken in a mixture of pomegranate molasses and olive oil prior to bbq ing or grilling

add to stews

if you are cooking venison add a little to the drippings and use as a sauce to pour over the carved venison, it would also work with duck

mix it 50/50 with salgam which is the fermaented juice of the pickled turnip and pour over grilled onions (salgam is available from most Turkish shops it is available mild or with chilli)
in Turkey where i produce the pomegranate molasses, it is also known as black lemon juice
please note that i am currently out of stock but am expecting a delivery in late may
i hope the above is of help to you
best regards mem

You can use the molasses to marinade things like chicken.

I was interested to see pomegranite molasses on the list. I bought this a few years ago, but really had no idea what to use it for, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction?

I tried using it as a cordial mixed with sparkling water and a slice of lemon which was nice, but I’d like to know about cooking with it.
