Think capers are berries? Think again. 👀 🌿

Capers might look like tiny berries, but they’re actually unopened flower buds from the caper bush.

They’re picked before the flower blooms and then preserved in brine or salt, which gives them that bold, tangy flavour Mediterranean dishes are known for.

A small ingredient with big flavour. 🤩

Have you cooked with capers before?

Tapas Tuesday calls for olives. Obviously. 🫒

Pile them onto a plate, add something crunchy, pour a little olive oil and you’re pretty much sorted.

Simple, Mediterranean and made for sharing - just how tapas should be.

Here’s something you might not know about olives… 🫒

Green and black olives can actually come from the same tree. Their colour largely depends on when they’re harvested and how they’re processed.

And when it comes to enjoying them, Velha has plenty to choose from - whole, pitted, sliced or stuffed with pimento.

Now we want to know: are you reaching for the green or the black olives? 👇

Spring called… it wants salad back on the menu. 🥗☀️

Fresh, crisp, colourful, and finished with a dressing that brings it all together. Velha Red W**e Vinegar adds that bright, tangy kick that can take a simple spring salad from nice to “okay, who made the dressing?” 😍

Whisk it with olive oil, a touch of mustard, herbs and a little honey for an easy homemade vinaigrette.

🌿 Spring salad season has officially entered the chat.
