Ampleforth Abbey Cider (1 litre) Fr Rainer makes this cider on site from our own orchard's apples in the traditional way. The result is a strong (8.3%), dry cider, where the final phase of fermentation often takes place in the bottle, making it quite lively! It is best served well chilled. It is not practical to send these bottles by post; they are heavy and fragile, but you can buy it from a number of outlets around the country. Here are some stockists (prices vary): The Deli Downstairs, 99 Lauriston Road, London, E9 7HJ; 020 89857515 Weetons, 23-24 West Park, Harrogate, HG1 1BJ; 01423 507 100 The Hairy Fig, 39 Fossgate, York, YO1 9TF; 01904 677 074 The York Wine & Beer Shop, 28 Sandringham St., York, YO10 4BA; 01904 647 136 Castle Stores, Laugharne, Camarthenshire, SA33 4QG Potters Yorkshire Ales, 3 Hollowgate, Huddersfield, HD4 6XY You can buy from Ampleforth Abbey Shop and our Tea Room any day of the week between 10.30am and 5.30am.

Tautra Aftershave Balm At last, the good nuns of Tautra, Norway, have made something for the men! This balm is designed to repair the daily damage done by the razor. During a close shave the top, protective layer of dead skin cells is mostly removed, and the tender layer beneath can dry out quickly leaving the skin feeling tight and dry. A tiny dab of this rich preparation glides easily over the face, immediately soothing and cooling. It sinks into the skin within seconds leaving it beautifully supple, hydrated and non-greasy. Since all the active ingredients are organic it is suitable for sensitive skins too. Net weight 50g. Price: £10.99 / €13.19 (Including VAT at 17.5%) Quantity:

Tautra Rosehip +Vitamin C Face Cream Formerly known as 'Kloster Krem Night Cream', this face cream now contains Rosehip and Vitamin C, as well as essence of Green Tea and Aloe Vera to nourish and moisturize face and neck. It sinks in quickly and easily leaving the skin at once grease-free and silky. But why the change? Scientific evidence has demonstrated the trans-retinoic acid content of Rose Hip Oil is effective in reducing surgical and accidental dermal scars, the elimination of certain hyper pigmented spots, the lessening of wrinkles and the repair of sun damage. Vitamin C causes the production of collagen, the lack of which makes skin appear old and papery. It is also an antioxidant. Net weight 50g. For a larger picture click here.
