Yorkshire Treasures Showcased At Harvey Nichols

To celebrate the tenth year of Harvey Nichols Leeds and the heritage of Yorkshire, Foodmarkets across the UK & Ireland will be honouring a delicious range of sweet and savoury treats from the Yorkshire region, perfect for afternoon tea.

From long-established producers to traditional favourites, some of the key highlights will include:

HARVEY NICHOLS YORKSHIRE RHUBARB PRESERVE WITH ORANGE
The fresh earthy flavour of rhubarb with a twist of orange is captured in this lovely jam. Made with the tender, pink stalks which are ‘forced’ early and harvested by candlelight in the early months of the year and been long grown in West Yorkshire.

The heavy clay soil, the cold winter climate and the availability of coal from nearby mines, have all contributed to the tradition of growing rhubarb in ‘The Yorkshire Triangle’. Delicious on fresh bread, scones, and sandwiches or with Greek style yoghurt and honey, savour with a delicate cup of Darjeeling tea.
