FACTFILE:

Gourmet Raw believes in making healthy tasty food that’s actually good for you.

They don’t cook their ingredients: they keep them raw so they retain all the enzymes and nutrients that occur naturally. With all the enzymes and nutrients alive and well, Gourmet Raw foods will boost your system, aid digestion and help you take on more energy.

Principles of Raw Food

A raw food diet is based on the belief that the most healthy food for the body is uncooked. Although most food is eaten raw, heating food is acceptable as long as the temperature stays below 40.5°C.

Proponents of the raw diet believe that enzymes are the life force of a food and that every food contains its own perfect mix. These enzymes help us digest foods completely, without relying on our body to produce its own cocktail of digestive enzymes.

It is also thought that the cooking process can destroy vitamins and minerals and that cooked foods not only take longer to digest, but they also allow partially digested fats, proteins and carbohydrates to clog up our gut and arteries.

Catalan potatoes and pink Himalayan sea salt? Meet San Nicasio Spanish crisps!


Fayrefield Foods are launching a new super Spanish crisp into the UK - San Nicasio Patatas Fritas.

Hand made using extra virgin olive oil, Catalan potatoes and Himalayan pink sea salt, they are produced in the Córdoba mountain range in Andalucia, the centre of the olive growing region in Spain.

The distinctive pink bags are used in top Spanish delicatessens, hotels and restaurants where they are justifiably famed for their high quality ingredients, unique taste and texture.

Created by four times gold medal winning Rafael del Rosal, the crisps are slow cooked and the extra virgin oil they use is from the first press of olives grown at nearby groves.

This extra virgin olive oil has “Priego de Cordoba” denomination of origin and is recognised as being amongst the best olive oils in the world.

San Nicasio also contains Himalayan pink salt which is rich in minerals and trace elements, its pink colour reflecting its high iron content. (EDITOR: It is sea salt from an sea from pre-historic times)

"San Nicasio have won four Gold awards from the Brussels World Selection of Quality in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and are a truly artisan product", explains Fayrefield Foods’ Mike Coleman.

“San Nicasio is a new concept in potato crisps. It is an authentic delicacy for cosmopolitan consumers who appreciate great taste, natural ingredients, provenance and traditional production methods. It is a gourmet product that uses super premium ingredients and we think will be coveted by the very best delicatessens, hotels and restaurants. San Nicasio is a truly unique product that will enhance social eating and drinking occasions and we can’t wait for UK consumers to get the chance to try them.”

San Nicasio will be available at RSP £3.49 to £3.99 for 190g.
