The Michelin-starred olive oil you need to try – plus 7 more foodie buys for August

For a flavour boost

Krude olive oil

This is Gordon Ramsay’s olive oil brand with seven products to choose from, including infused chilli, garlic, lemon and basil options. Very handy for quickly elevating salads or roasted veg over barbecue season. From £13, krudeoliveoil.com

For a simple dinner

Rempapa Peranakan tumeric & lemongrass paste

We’re huge fans of this range, but this flavour is a standout – fragrant, vibrant and versatile as a base for laksas, curries or a marinade. Plus, it’s vegan. £6.90/180g, rempapa.com

For breakfast lovers

Fatso Morn’n Glory chocolate bar

Enjoy a taste of breakfast any time of day with this bar. It’s made with crunchy cornflakes, marmalade and a hint of toast, all drenched in dark chocolate. £7.50/150g, Waitrose

For a mocktail alternative

Remedy Sodaly – pineapple

If you love a soft drink with added health benefits, this is sugar-free with a dose of apple cider vinegar for a gut-friendly prebiotic boost. £1.95/250ml can, Ocado

For fancy sipping

Della Vite Spritz range

There’s a spritz for everyone in this selection so it’s great for al fresco gatherings – we especially liked the floral hugo spritz and a very fruity bellini. £26.48/8-pack, Amazon

For your next BBQ

Field & Flower – 30 portion value box

At only £1.77 per portion, this box from the online supplier of grass-fed meat and sustainable fish is ideal for families managing a budget. It includes pork rib eye steaks, barbecue chicken drumsticks, beef mince, diced chicken and piri piri chicken wings. £71.94, fieldandflower.co.uk/boxes

For punchier lunches

This is my go-to dressing at the moment. It’s creamy and lightly spiced, perfect for poke bowls, marinades, or simply livening up a WFH lunch. £5/250ml, Waitrose

For an umami hit
