➢ James MacNay - in decreasing order of generality James loves Italy, the outdoors, food and wine. He studied English and History at the University of the West of England in Bristol, a city that remains very close to him. With little recognisable logic James then tried what seemed like every job going, until a year spent teaching in Italy lit the touch paper. He hasn’t looked back and Italy remains his favourite subject - which is lucky, considering what he does for a living. In 2004 James met Cinzia Long whilst working for a walking tour company in Italy. On a walk over Monte Subasio, Umbria, in 40 degree heat, they found a shared sense of humour, enjoyment of the natural world, and deep affection for food and wine.

Cinzia’s arrival at Rare & Organic also brought with it an exciting dynamic, welcoming our customers’ active participation in learning about our food and wine;
