3 Local Suppliers - The Importance of Provenance Why is provenance so important when it comes to produce? You can probably imagine why knowing the origin of your food has ethical benefits and marks of quality, but provenance tells us a whole lot more. The origin of harvestable produce is an expression of terroir. Terroir (pronounced ter-wah ) is the complete natural environment, including the soil, topography and climate, which give the produce its unique characteristics. Where a crop is grown and its respective farming methods will determine how the produce will taste. Seasonal produce is at the heart of our menu and by working with some of the best producers in our area we can discover the finest ingredients. Our team then take these and handcraft new and exciting flavours for you to experience. + + Comboyne Culture + + Binnorie Dairy + + Bellingen Smokehouse + + Bago Bluff Glossary Fricasee Souffle Terrine Blanc de Blanc Cafe de Paris Buerre Noisette Pissaldière Vegetables sautéed and braised, and served with its sauce; traditionally a white sauce.
