Festive Season
The festive season is upon us. Time to reflect on the year that is passing and to imagine and dream about the year to come. This is best done sharing a meal with friends and family if you are lucky to have such treasures, if not reach out.
I want to thank all my customers both new and old for their custom and wish you all peace and kindness.
Gieser Wildeman pear season!
The days are getting shorter and autumn has definitely set in. The kitchen of Wilde Chutney is full with gieser wildeman pears just harvested from Rene, the organic fruit farmer in North Holland. I love going to his farm and harvesting from my adopted pear trees. It was a good crop be it albeit early this year. Rene says it down to the very wet spring and long hot summer.
The first batch of gieser wildeman pear chutney and cordial has been made and is available until stocks last.
My favorite cheese pairing with this chutney is Mont d'or.
Where does Wilde Chutney source her fruit?
Wilde Chutney is proud to announce that the local fruit farmer, Rene van der Aarde, after two years transition has got his organic certification. Congratulations Rene. Great news!

Climate change
We all are aware that climate change is as dramatic and huge as it is complex. Finding solutions to this crises can be overwhelming. Wilde Chutney as a company tries in its own way to minimize the impact on the environment. Nothing is perfect and there is always room for improvement. That is why Urgenda is an organisation that is close to Wilde Chutney's heart. Thinking of solutions and working together. One of their projects that Wilde Chutney supports is stichting behoud en beheer Broekhuizerlaan.
