IN BRIEF
uEXPERIMENTAL lime product G-Lime has been relaunched as Granucal after a £1m investment in Lafarges plant in Germany to overcome problems of bridging in fertiliser spreaders. Fine-tuning the granulation process without using chemical binders produces a more consistent liming material, says the firms Steve Jagger. Cost is about £95/t.
uLOOK out Chianti, here come the malts! An Italian single malt whisky club set up last July already has 1300 members. Backed by importers, with £10,000 and £5000 grants from the HGCA and Food from Britain, the club runs tastings at food fairs and has its own web-site and newsletter promoting 21 barley-based single malts from 16 Scottish distilleries. *
