We manage to sampled three classically cold smoked artisan smoked salmon, namely the Traditional Smoked Salmon with Cracked Black Pepper, Tea Smoked Salmon with Lapsang Souchong (立山小種) Tea and the award winning Whisky Smoked Salmon (Great Taste Awards 2014).

For more than 160 years the family based Marqués de Murrieta Winery has constantly serving the world with its quality wines originated from the magnificent Ygay Estate, a 300 own-hectare single vineyard settled in the southern part of la Rioja Alta surrounding the property.

Devil's Curry, the slightly tuned down spice level is just nice for me however is you're a real hardcore curry lover, an extra spicy version should should fit you better. (RM 16)
