The heat wave may have come to an end, but rain isn’t stopping play when it comes to some delicious goodies that have come our way, this month. 

We’re hoping that al fresco eating and al fresco dining will be having its moment again soon, and with Wimbledon just around the corner and picnics popping up all over the place, we’re couldn’t resist revealing what we’ve sampled. 

Whether you enjoy a tipple or choose to abstain, there are some drinks that have caught our eye and lingered on our taste buds.  

Domaine EdeM N.0 Rosæ  is a newly launched, premium alcohol-free sparkling rosé-style wine delicately infused with rose petals for a floral, celebratory style. Designed with food and occasion drinking very much in mind and is, we think, a brilliant summer picnic choice for non drinkers.  

Recently rated by Forbes and Decanter Magazine, N.0 Rosæ is made in Spain from Airen grapes, the alcohol is gently removed under cold vacuum to preserve freshness and aroma. It’s finished with a natural rose-petal infusion to retain real wine texture and aromatics. Fresh and elegant, with fine bubbles and delicate notes of citrus, pear and rose.  

Nothing says summer picnic better than strawberries and cream, and if you’re going to the Championships or hosting a Wimbledon party, then make sure you’ve got a few recipes up your sleeve. We love Eton Mess for its crunchy, sweet and creamy flavours that explode in the mouth. And nothing pairs better with the finest English strawberries like the Cornish Dairy Company Clotted Cream. With an unmistakable golden crust and a luxuriously rich flavour, you simply can’t beat this award-winner. Made with milk from local Cornish herds, it’s the perfect component for cream teas and spooning onto strawberry jam-laden scones or stirring into sauces for a creamy depth of flavour – delicious!  

And speaking of jam, we’ve been treated to Fearne & Rosie brand new Strawberry Seedless Preserve.  It’s the perfect summer match for everything from fruity picnic sandwiches and Wimbledon-themed afternoon teas to yogurty breakfasts and seasonal bakes. What we love, in particular, is that it’s here to help more households reduce their sugar intake…the jam delivers all the sweet, fruity goodness you’d expect, but with a whopping 40% less sugar than standard jams.   

True to Fearne & Rosie form, it’s bursting with 70% fruit but this time absolutely no seeds, delivering the same delicious taste, but with a super smooth finish!   In fact, Fearne & Rosie jam-packs each jar of the strawberry preserve with an impressive 31 juicy strawberries!  Plus, it’s also vegan friendly and has no added concentrates
(as concentrates can contain high levels of fructose).
