December Harvest Lunch — Shark Bay scallops, heirloom cucumbers and verjus
Heirloom cucumbers are just hitting their peak and for December we're making the most of heirloom varieties from Oliver and Lisa at Ramarro Farm.
Every weekday, we're serving a dish of Shark Bay scallops, heirloom cucumbers and verjus. It's just the style of refreshing dish we relish in the summer heat. Delicious with a glass from our 12 Wines of Christmas, the 2022 Nanclares Y Prieto Albariño 'A Graña' Val do Salnés from Rías Baixas in Spain
Our Producers
Our relationships with local producers and suppliers is what makes Cumulus Inc. what it is, keeping us motivated and enthusiastic about the next great flavour combination or how a single, fresh ingredient can sometimes be enough.
We sourced December’s cucumbers from Ramarro Farm in The Patch outside of the Dandenong Ranges. Established by former Cumulus manager, Oliver Shorthouse and his wife Lisa, also a Cumulus alum, they grow extraordinary leaves and vegetables for us in the wet and volcanic soil of The Patch, deep in The Dandenongs. Initially working part time in both businesses, Oliver became a full time farmer about 5 years ago.
