On Saturday morning M and I stopped at
Root's Farm shop and cafe in East Rounton, near the edge of the Yorkshire Moors. We drank strong coffee and ate generous slices of carrot cake, and then wandered around the shop. I came home with a bottle of Extra Virgin rapeseed oil called "Gold from the Wold" and some Monks Folly, and a jar of
Bilsdale heather honey (see
Heather Honey, Pine Honey, above).
The rapeseed oil is nuttier and lighter than olive oil. I think it will be good for roasting vegetables like parsnips and carrots and a giving a different flavour to dressings.
The Monks Folly (possibly should be Monk's Folly or Monks' Folly?) is a cheese from another local cheese makers,
Shepherd's Purse. It was perhaps a little unripe when we ate it, but it tasted good, and made a nice lunch with salad, tomato, bread and a little of the rapeseed oil.
