RAW Announces Exclusive Partnership with Ottolenghi
RAW is delighted to announce its new partnership with one of London's most vibrant food havens, Ottolenghi - who will be hosting the official RAW wine shop both at the show, taking place from 19th - 20th May, and also from its online store.
The official RAW Wine shop will launch on the Ottolenghi webstore mid-April and run through to the end of May.
Giving wine fans a preview of what's on offer at the show, the online store will stock a wide selection of approximately 30 wines from the show's exhibitors.
My love of food goes hand in hand with an admiration for great wine. Handpicked and carefully sourced, the Ottolenghi wine collection, which we also sell online, focuses on artisan producers, local grape varieties and wine made in the most natural way.
Our wines are from environmentally committed producers and give a strong sense of place - geographically, historically, culturally. It goes without saying, that these are also wines that we simply love drinking - and we're quite good at that!
We are delighted and honoured to be working with Isabelle Legeron MW and her team at RAW, the only artisan wine fair. This partnership feels very natural indeed.

For those who like to try before they buy, Ottolenghi will also be hosting the RAW wine shop at the fair itself, stocking more wines than the online store and giving visitors the chance to purchase new discoveries and favourites they've tasted at the show.
Fans of Ottolenghi's food will be pleased to hear that they will also be offering visitors delicious canapés at the show to act as the perfect accompaniment to the wine.
RAW is one of the most exciting, and certainly the largest, collection of fine, natural, organic and biodynamic wine artisans ever to come together in the capital and now, with the support of Ottolenghi, more people will have the opportunity to not just taste, but purchase and take home some of these incredible wines.
Ottolenghi
Ottolenghi has redefined the way we cook and eat, introducing intriguing, exciting and vibrant new ingredients to our kitchens. Now these Mediterranean and Middle Eastern ingredients and foods can be bought directly from Ottolenghi in the new online store and delivered across the country and overseas.
Ottolenghi started this online store after feedback from customers showed that they struggled to find some ingredients locally. The hassle is over then - everything you need, especially for the new cookbook 'Jerusalem', is just a click away.
Ottolenghi now sells an abundance of essential pantry items online including spices, grains, syrups and oils as well as homemade jams and chutneys, chocolate and sweets, cookies, cakes, specially selected wines, cookbooks and gifts of packaged items or vouchers for Ottolenghi and NOPI restaurants.
This is not only a store but also a resource for the adventurous cook who wants to learn more about different ingredients and how best to use them. Each pantry ingredient is explained and a dish is suggested with a link to the recipe online or to a recipe in one of the cookbooks.
