A note from Mr Filbert: My company, Filbert's Fine Foods, was launched in 2010 by my friends, Mark Taylor and Paul Dooley; two food enthusiasts with a passion for inventive and original recipes. Between them they have over 40 years experience in the food business, and have been awarded over 30 taste awards from expert panels for different products along the way. From their base in the idyllic village of Milton Abbas in Dorset, they have crafted a range of distinctive new products under my brand, Mr Filbert's.

A note from Mark and Paul: We created Mr Filbert to help us tell our story in a richer and more interesting way. Mr Filbert is a charming and slightly eccentric culinary inventor. Having spent much of his early life travelling the world in search of adventure, Mr Filbert returned to England with his faithful dog Mac when he inherited The Old Watermill in Dellcombe Bottom from his Great Uncle Archibald, together with a very vocal parrot called Duck. From his kitchen workshop, Mr Filbert set about devising amazing recipes and contraptions with which to surprise and delight his friends. He sources the finest local produce and exotic ingredients from around the globe to create his range of deliciously different nutty snacks, gourmet oils and sumptuous drizzles.

We hope you enjoy our delectable recipes as much as we enjoy making them!
