With a growing reputation for its fine food hampers of continental artisan delicacies, Delicario revamp their hamper and gift box designs and extend their festive range of delicacies for Christmas 2021.
DEVELOPMENTS AT DELICARIO OVER THE PAST YEAR
With the festive period approaching and thoughts of gourmet gifts, Delicario offers conscious shoppers an innovative alternative to the traditional Christmas food hamper with their artisan specialty range of delicatessen products. Having successfully negotiated the hurdles of Brexit, Delicario continue to expand their exceptional range of continental artisan food and wine produce, hand-picked from sustainable small and family producers. The continental food theme carries over to a wide selection of gourmet Christmas hampers and gift boxes for all palates, elegantly presented in sustainable packaging with the distinctive Delicario olive branch logo, offering a high quality alternative to those of top department stores. Quality is key, and many of the products showcase unique flavours and ingredients not yet found in the UK market, such as seasonal handmade Cappellacci with Artichoke and Piave Cheese, antipasto of crunchy stems of red radicchio from Treviso pickled in a marinade of pink pepper and clementine, festive indulgence of artisan Apricot and Honey Panettone, delicate hand-picked rose petal preserve from Almeria, as well as many organic, gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian delicacies. Delicario’s most popular year-round products such as Aged Manchego Cheese, the finest Bellota Iberian Ham, pure tender Wagyu Beef Burgers and fine olive collection also bring a culinary treat to the table at Christmas festivities. Since their launch, Delicario have gone from strength to strength with their ‘international farm to table’ approach, continually seeking out new sources of unique and flavoursome ethically farmed delicacies, cultivated through family generations of modern artisans who continually experiment with the creative possibilities of each quality raw ingredient to identify new flavour combinations and recipes while respecting tradition. Each producer remains loyal to sustainable farming techniques with closed cycle artisan elaboration at the heart of every delicacy.
DETAILED INFORMATION ON HAMPERS AND GIFT BOXES
When it comes to presentation, Delicario’s festive gourmet hampers and gift boxes stand out with an extensive selection of themes offering artisan savoury, sweet, vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free festive treats mostly from the continent. The new 2021 wicker hamper design is available in a range of sizes from small to extra-large and benefits from a further makeover with indulgent linen lining branded with the Delicario logo, with a finishing touch of a printed gift card for a personal message. Each item comes carefully wrapped in Delicario tissue paper and glass is protected with recyclable shredded cardboard. Chilled items are freshly delivered using Delicario wool cool technology parcelled in a white envelope. The entire hamper is thoughtfully packaged in a branded white card box to further protect the contents. The embossed gift boxes are equally stylish in solid white cardboard tied with soft green ribbon. There’s a hamper and gift box to suit all budgets and palates, with the flagship Royal Hamper being the ultimate luxury gift. An appetising list of over 40 handpicked delicacies includes Cuvée L’Élixir du Champagne, Premier Cru by family vineyard Damien-Buffet, condiments of Ascolana Tenera EVOO, Balsamic Vinegar Pearls from Modena, pure sea salt from the Balearics, antipasti of Leccino Olives, fragrant pâtés, creams and confits, the purest of Wagyu Beef, artisan Italian cookies and hazelnut cake as well as handmade chocolate truffles from Belgian chocolatier Frederic Blondeel.

NEW PRODUCTS HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDING FESTIVE DELICACIES
Delicario gift boxes and hampers display the very best of authentic ingredients to create a festive dining experience at home. New products with unique flavour combinations and textures have been sourced to enhance the 2021 Christmas range. This year, Delicario has added a selection of artisan Panettone as fluffy as cotton clouds with flavours including the Classic, Chocolate, Apricot and Honey as well as two gluten-free options in Classic and Chocolate. Specialty antipasti of naturally preserved organic vegetables, closed cycle cured ham and handmade cheeses from Italy and Spain come in creative mouth-watering varieties and the sweet menu now has innovative handcrafted chocolate tiles inspired by the raw materials of design and architecture. Pure natural ingredients create carefully designed flavours in each chocolate tile which are complex and intriguing, such as Chai Tea and Pink Peppercorn, Tonka Bean and Mandarin, Matcha and Raspberry, Rosemary and Lemon, Orange, Charcoal and Sesame and even Reishi Mushrooms and Sea Buckthorn with a taste between coffee and liquorice in swirls of caramel. Ancient methods of preserving naturally ripened vegetables and fruits such as drying, sugar, salt, extra virgin olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice are selected. In general, Delicario products have far less ingredients than mass market items, one example being artisan jams which purely and simply combine the staple ingredients of more fruit and less sugar. The best flavours come from the land, with skilful hands meeting ancient tradition to achieve outstanding handcrafted delicacies across the Delicario range. For the conscious shopper, information about the ethics and origin behind every product is shared.

FOUNDER QUOTE
Marco Rosa, co-founder of Delicario added, “The Delicario team have already started taking advance orders for Christmas delivery from our extensive Kent warehouse facilities. It is a pleasure to work with the families, small communities and local co-operatives across the continent to support their quest to produce outstanding and authentic regional delicacies from the land they love. The unique ingredients, the region, the family and their philosophy are insights that we share to raise awareness of the attention to detail behind every artisan delicacy and its producer. The wonders our producers create with the help of mother nature symbolise harmony in the cycle of life. The art of simplicity, pure flavours and small-scale artisan, often organic production ensure our carefully sourced products truly reflect the taste of each ingredient.”
