Nutrition key to sound health
We’re celebrating #WorldPizzaDay by highlighting the close relationship between extra-virgin oil and one of our cuisine’s most iconic creations.
Best wishes to all the pizza masters we collaborate with, including Ciro Salvo and Gino Sorbillo, and to all those who love pizza.
Do you know why #WorldPizzaDay is January 17th? Why didn’t pizza makers work on Saint Anthony’s day, patron of fire and then ovens.

This soup doesn’t take much more than 20 minutes to make from start to finish. The lemon juice helps to bring out the mushrooms’ natural, savoury flavour. If you are trying to be healthy at the moment, omit the cream and dilute with a little extra stock if necessary – you’ll find it’s still pretty good.
Sprinkle the mushrooms with the lemon juice. Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook gently for a few minutes until softened but not coloured. Increase the heat, add the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute, stirring.
Gradually pour the stock into the pan, add the nutmeg, season to taste and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer gently for about 10 minutes or until the mushrooms are completely tender. Blend to a purée in a food processor or with a hand held blender. Return to a clean pan, season to taste and stir in most of the cream, reserving a little to garnish.
Meanwhile, make the garlic croutons. Heat the butter in a non-stick frying pan and once it has melted and is starting to sizzle, stir in the garlic and then tip in the sourdough bread cubes, tossing to coat. Season to taste and continue to sauté for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Tip on to kitchen paper to drain off any excess butter.
To serve, reheat the soup gently, then ladle into warmed bowls and add swirls of the reserved cream. Garnish with the crunchy garlic croutons and add a sprinkling of chives to each one.

The apples in the orchard are almost ready to be picked, looking forward to the apple tart that is baked with fresh organic fruits from the trees.
