Why It’s On Our Shelves
A rich, fruity chutney combining the deep sweetness of plums with a warming chilli kick for a delicious balance of sweetness, tang and gentle heat.
Norfolk Larder Plum & Chilli Chutney brings together the naturally rich, rounded flavour of plums with the lively warmth of chilli to create a chutney that's both comforting and full of character.
Plums provide a deep, fruity sweetness with a gentle sharpness, while chilli adds a warming edge that cuts through the richness. The result is a beautifully balanced chutney that delivers plenty of flavour without allowing the heat to overpower the fruit.
It's particularly good with mature cheeses, blue cheese, pork and cold meats, but equally enjoyable with pâté, charcuterie or tucked into a generously filled sandwich.

Why We Stock It
Plum chutney is a wonderful accompaniment to cheese, but adding chilli gives it an entirely different dimension.
What we particularly like about Norfolk Larder Plum & Chilli Chutney is the contrast between the deep, rounded sweetness of the plums and the warming character of the chilli.
It's a combination that works exceptionally well with a good mature Cheddar, but we'd also suggest trying it with a creamy blue cheese. The sweetness complements the saltiness of the cheese, while the chilli adds a little warmth to the finish.
And if there's a pork pie involved, so much the better.
For us, this is exactly what a good chutney should be: familiar enough to be comforting, but with just enough of a twist to make you reach for another spoonful.
