This year, Bristol-based co-operative Essential Trading celebrates fifty years as a wholesaler. They’ve been manufacturing and distributing sustainable wholefoods, ecological household products and cruelty-free body care items since 1971. We’ve worked with Essential throughout both our co-ops histories, knowing that we are stronger together. So it’s a privilege to be able to wish them a happy birthday.
We regularly use Essential’s Organic Pineapple Chunks in our canteen in this pineapple upside-down cake – it’s a firm favourite with the folks at Suma HQ. The recipe makes two large baking trays, feeding roughly seventy people.
