Update! ⛵️After a brief stop in Fowey to clear

Update! ⛵️After a brief stop in Fowey to clear customs, the ship is on the way to Newlyn and will arrive late this afternoon.

For those of you nearby keep your eyes on the horizon from around 3-5pm to watch them sail past.

Unfortunately Penzance harbour is full so we have had to change our plans and unload this evening in Newlyn. Sadly we cannot have a stall there and with the short notice we have decided to set up our ship shop on the quay in Penzance this Sunday 25th from 2-6pm.

We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday for local collections and shopping! 📦🌿

We’re hoping to have music from @_catkin_8 , @isaac.i.ockenden and friends, so do bring your instruments if you feel like a folk jam on the quay🎻⚓️

• For national deliveries we will pack orders next week for the delivery towards the end of the week.

• If you are near Falmouth @argalhomefarm collections will be ready for collection from Wednesday next week (28th July).

• You can also collect from @foodbarn.tregew in Flushing on Saturday (31st July).

"For me, provisioning, or shopping at any scale and context, is more than a massive grocery mission. At least for me, it is a choice, a statement, a political act. It is the declaration of my intentions, a choice of my investment. [While provisioning] you decide how to spend the budget you have been given. You elect who you want to support [with that money]. You choose how and what to feed your crew. "⠀

Update! ⛵️ The ship has been delayed by about 10 days due to the weather and the new Brexit procedures. Once the import checks are completed, we'll be able to confirm a more accurate date, but for now have tentatively penciled in the 24th July for Penzance. Until then you can track the ship's progress through the link in our bio, relax and await your cargo. ⠀
-⠀
Although this delay may seem frustrating in a world that mostly runs to people's schedules, this is the nature of what we do and a reminder that we cannot control everything - especially not the wind! ⠀
-⠀
Thank you for all your pre-orders! 💛

Gallant will soon be arriving in Penzance where you can collect your orders. If you can't make it to PZ, we will be @foodbarn.tregew near Flushing the following Saturday. Failing that you are welcome to collect from @argalhomefarm or we offer UK wide delivery.⠀

We loved trying Atlantic Brewery's Azores Pale Ale, and are so pleased to be sharing some Cornish produce with our port allies in France. Hopefully one day soon we will be able to more evenly balance our exports and imports! What unique cargo do you think Cornwall has to share? (Pasties might not last so long at sea...)⠀

Our olive oil farmers do not only work with olives. The olive trees are intercropped with nut and fruit trees, another bounty that we ship from Portugal by sail!⠀
-⠀
From Soresa, part of the @azeitecaixeiro family, we have organic dried almonds and caramelised almonds with carob or honey. The caramelised almonds are batch produced to order in the farm kitchen. A delicious treat and definitely a favourite on-desk-snack...⠀

Last few days to pre-order and these are always in high demand! Follow the link in our bio to our shop. ⠀

Gallant first sailed as a herring lugger in the No

Gallant first sailed as a herring lugger in the North Sea, named Jannetje Margaretha. It was built in 1916 by the Figee brothers in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands, who made some of the fastest hulls of the time. During the ship’s long career, it has lived many different lives including carrying cargo from the late 1920's - 70's. It was extensively refitted for adventure sailing with trainees and renamed Gallant in 1987. ⠀
-⠀
Gallant entered the @blueschoonercompany fleet in November 2017, to sail cargo once again. The Ship and her crew work tirelessly, always on the go, sailing cargo across the Atlantic and around Europe. ⠀
-⠀
They are currently on route back from Portugal with a hold full of olive oil, wine, rice, honey and other bounty. They will arrive in Penzance next week, we invite you to welcome her in.⠀

Dried Beans may not be your go-to stock-cupboard f

Dried Beans may not be your go-to stock-cupboard favourite yet, but they should be. Here’s why…⠀
-⠀
Although it may seem like a chore to invest time in soaking and boiling dried beans, and a can of beans far more tempting, the trade-off for your time is a pot of deeply flavoured, complex nutrients that canned beans will never come close to.⠀
-⠀
Aside from being more cost-effective than canned, starting with dried beans may also be tastier and healthier. Canned beans often have a high sodium content and a subtle metallic taste. Meanwhile, dried beans better absorb the flavours you cook them in, whilst leaving you the freedom to choose the texture you want – from mushy to al dente, one could say. Once the cooking is over, you end up with a pot full of bean broth which is a great flavour base for soups and stews. Always worth making a bit extra as beans freeze down beautifully.⠀
-⠀
Beans in general are packed with fibre, potassium, magnesium and iron – all nutrients we don’t get enough of. So why not give them a go? Pre-order in bulk or in 1kg packets from the link in our bio. All our beans come from the incredible Reigado family in the Côa Valley, Portugal, hand sown, harvested and dried. 🌱⠀

Portuguese cargo loaded! After an epic week of bureaucratic gymnastics, we managed to load our precious cargo on board the Gallant. Last year’s challenge was COVID, this year’s challenge is COVID + BREXIT. We’re pleased to say that despite all that is against us, our wonderful collaboration of producers, port allies and sailors have come together again and made it possible to sail cargo for another voyage.

This week our producers loaded their treasured olive oil onto the ship in Porto! Their extra-virgin-liquid-gold is now on its way here to Cornwall. 🕊️⠀
-⠀
Originating from different regions with different olive varieties, each olive oil has its own uniquely nuanced flavour. The farmers are always kept on their toes, and this year was again filled with challenges and surprises on the groves. Spring came early and a sudden heat wave disrupted the pollination, specifically in Central Portugal. With the alternate bearing variety Galega they knew this was a low fruit year. Most trees had almost no fruit and many other farmers decided not to harvest at all. Luckily our farmers work with different varieties and harvest in different areas, so were able to produce olive oils. For Passeite, 2020 ended up giving the best average yields for them so far! No two harvests, varieties, bioregions or seasons are ever exactly the same. But the one thing you can count on is the olive oil we sail is as good as it gets. ⠀
-⠀
Only 10 days left to pre-order! Order cycle closes on the 11th July.⠀

How can you be part of the solution? 🤔⠀

By producing and consuming in a more climate-friendly way and buying ethically produced goods, at reasonable prices, brought to you by the power of the wind and community, you support hands-on climate activism and you are part of the change. ⠀

@blueschoonercompany are loading tomorrow and will leave Porto for Penzance soon which means there is not long left to pre-order your cargo from Portugal and France. Although we cannot entirely replace your supermarket shop (yet), we are able to offer alternatives to 'the shelf' for products like coffee, olive oil and rice. We hope that between these staples and food that you can find locally, we are helping to move a few steps closer to a food system that puts people and planet first. 🙌🌎🌱⠀

In northern Portugal lies The Vinho Verde region.🍷 The Minho river that defines it, runs to the north of the region and forms Portugal’s border with Galicia in Spain. The city of Porto, sits on the Atlantic ocean at Vinho Verde’s southwest corner, and the Douro River extends eastward from there.⠀
-⠀
This fertile area has been home to winemaking for at least 2000 years, possibly even before Romans settled there. Vinho Verde means “green wine,” not because all Vinho Verde is white, but because ample rainfall makes the region verdant year-round.⠀
-⠀
The @quintadarabiana approach to farming is based on maximising natural control processes for pest and soil management, to grow a healthy crop.🌱⠀
-⠀
This year we are proud to be sailing a crispy white wine from Quinta da Rabiana here to Cornwall. Follow the link in our bio to pre-order.⠀

For the hard-core bean-lovers amongst you, who are

For the hard-core bean-lovers amongst you, who are not perturbed by a few days and repetitions of soaking, Lupini beans are your challenge and your reward! A common apéro in Portugal and Spain, Lupini beans are to be enjoyed on their own, sprinkled with some salt (Noirmoutier Fleur de Sel anyone?!) and accompanied by a cold beer. 🍺 Simply soak, cook, soften and cool. ⠀
-⠀
Emilia Reigado's Lupini Preparation: ⠀
-⠀
▫️Soak in cold water overnight.⠀
▫️Drain them the next day and rinse them with clean water.⠀
▫️Put them in a pan with unsalted water and boil for 5-7 minutes.⠀
▫️You know they are ready when they separate easily from the peel, check with your nail or teeth.⠀
▫️Be careful not to overcook them, as they will become too soft. ⠀
▫️Remove them from the heat, drain and cool them in cold water.⠀
▫️The next day remove the water and add fresh.⠀
-⠀
Repeat this draining and soaking process for 2-3 days until they lose their bitterness.⠀
Lupini beans keep for several weeks in a tupperware in the fridge with water and a thin layer of salt.⠀
-⠀

Gallant is alongside in Porto!🇵🇹

Ship and crew arrived safely overnight into the port of Leixões, on Porto's Atlantic coast.

This is our first European loading since Brexit, meaning there have been some new challenges to get our heads around and a few more forms to fill in. It has also meant that Captain Guillaume decided it would be safer to load in the larger and more commercial Leixões, rather than the lively and more beautiful fishing village of Afurada, where we have loaded in the past.

Covid and Brexit may present more hoops to jump, but luckily we are small, adaptable and capable, so after many days of hard work our papers are in order and we can breathe a sigh of relief.

This weekend the producers will be travelling from their farms in the Portuguese countryside ready to load on Tuesday. 🤝🌍🌱

We are proud to be a new chapter of the UK and Portugal's long-established sail trading relationship. We continue to transport many of the same commodities of old, by the timeless power of the wind.⠀
-⠀
In 1386 a close political, military and commercial alliance was established between England and Portugal. Under the terms of the treaty, each country gave the merchants of the other the right to reside in its territory and trade on equal terms with its own subjects. Strong and active trading links developed between the two countries and many English merchants settled in Portugal. By the second half of the 15th century a significant amount of Portuguese wine was being exported to England, often in exchange for salt cod known in Portuguese as 'bacalhau'. The merchants also imported commodities such as wool and cotton cloth from England and exported grain, fruit, oil.⠀
-⠀
Fascinating to see in the comparison of photos which technologies have changed over the centuries and which remain to this day. We are so pleased to be re-energising trade links with Portugal in a way that values our farmers, sailors, and customers.

Pre-orders closing soon! Link in bio.
