Why It’s On Our Shelves
A rich, fruity chutney combining sweet apple and dates with warming aromatic spice.
Norfolk Larder Spiced Apple & Date Chutney brings together the fresh fruitiness of apple with the deeper, naturally rich sweetness of dates, finished with warming spices to create a beautifully rounded chutney.
The apple provides sweetness and gentle acidity, while dates bring a darker, almost caramel-like richness. Add carefully balanced spice and you have a chutney with plenty of depth without becoming overly sweet or heavily spiced.
It's particularly good with mature cheeses, pork and cold meats, but equally useful tucked into a sandwich or served as part of a traditional ploughman's lunch.
Perfect Pairings
- Mature Cheddar and British territorial cheeses
- Blue cheese
- Pork pies and sausage rolls
- Roast pork and ham
- Cold meats and charcuterie

Why We Stock It
Apple chutney is a classic for good reason, but the addition of dates and warming spice gives this one considerably more character.
We particularly like the contrast between the fresh fruitiness of apple and the darker, richer sweetness of dates. Add a good mature Cheddar and you've got one of those combinations that really doesn't need much else.
Traditional enough to feel familiar, but interesting enough to earn its place on the cheeseboard.
