Orange Grove Organic – Music To Your Taste Buds !

Orange Grove Organic is a small company producing and supplying delicious organic dips to selected retailers around the South East and London.

Based in Brighton the company was started by Joe Shanks and Sarah Al-Taib with the vision of bringing a different kind of dip to your table.

Joe and Sarah both have a culinary background (in fact they met while catering for celebrity events) and they love entertaining their friends at home. Bored by the predictable hummus and guacamole usually sold in supermarkets they started inventing their own recipes. Friends were impressed, wanted more and Orange Grove Organic was the logical (and delicious) result. ‘We wanted to bring out a range of innovative fresh dips based on the wonderful flavours, textures and colours of world ingredients. Our dips are to be enjoyed within a social gathering and are also a healthy lunch alternative.’ Joe explains

Even the name was meant to be. As Joe reveals, ‘Food and music have always played a big part in my life, for the last ten years I have been compiling The Orange Grove, a compilation of soothing chill out music designed to accompany great food, entertaining and friends and to create the perfect audio culinary experience! Sarah’s mother Kritz, who lives in an Orange Grove in the mountains of Andalusia, has helped us develop our range so what else could we call the company! Kritz has a vast experience of running restaurants in the Middle East and has shared her secret recipe “the pharaoh” for everyone to enjoy. She shares some of her other fabulous recipes on our website.’

The current range explores the flavors of the Middle East, South America, the Mediterranean, and Thailand. The talented duo will be tempting lucky Sussex residents with new additions to the range over the coming months, including limited edition dips using seasonal ingredients. Both Sarah and Joe were determined to produce an organic product and stress ‘We only use the freshest, natural, organic, vegetarian ingredients with no unnecessary additions.’

Look out for Orange Grove Organic in health food shops, delis, farm shops,  farmers markets, events and a few music festivals over the summer.

Bon Appetit !
