About our Celery, Bunch

Celery is the king of flavour. Delicious raw as a snack dipped in Hummus or other dips, it is also excelent as a base in all cooking. Our celery is strong in its flavour, and sold as a bunch of stems with their leaves still on. We supply our celery in bunches of stems rather than heads. This is because celery take an incredibly long time to get established. Being small scale, it is both uneconomical and wasteful to grow a celery for a full head. Instead, we pick stems from it all through the season, as it just keeps giving. Therefore, you end up with more large, succulent stems and much earlier in the season, and the plants remain happy and producing until autumn.

Cooking tips

In Italy, all cooked dishes start with a 'Soffritto', considered the 'holy trinity' of flavour. Simply finely dice celery, onion and carrot in equal parts and cook it low and slow in a bit of olive oil. It packs a 'umami' flavour punch that is incredibly versatile and elevates the flavour of any dish. We love it and always keep a bunch in our fridge to add as a base flavour when cooking.

If you find yourself with too much celery on your hands, we recommend dicing up excess stems and placing them in freezer bags. Then, you can always grab a pre-prepared handful to throw into your cooking all season long!
