The leaves are falling, the air’s crisp and we’re (reluctantly?) putting on our jumpers. The evenings are drawing in and we’re slowing down.
We might feel a little sad that summer’s over but who looks forward to cosying up? And by ‘cosy’ we're talking about warmth, atmosphere….and food!
Autumn goes hand in hand with comfort food!
Doesn’t food taste better when we’re safe inside listening to a gale blowing or watching the rain lashing down? Or after you’ve returned from a bracing country walk?
Now, we know a thing or two about food.
Here at The British Hamper Company, we’re proud to be members of The Guild of Fine Food.
Did you know that many of our products in our artisan food hampers have won multiple Great Taste Awards?
Why is it so good to win Great Taste Awards?
The Great Taste Awards is the WORLD’S largest and longest-standing food and drink accreditation scheme for artisan and speciality food producers.
It’s a highly respected and fiercely competitive process in which products are rigorously judged and, if successful, are awarded one, two or three stars.
A Great Taste Award is a sign of remarkable quality.
So, let us tell you about some of our Great Taste products contained in our food hampers and why they’re so special.
All Butter Cheddar Biscuits:
Crunchy yet melt-in-your-mouth, these baked delights are beautifully flavoursome, buttery and cheesy and unbelievably moreish.
We receive so many compliments about these that they're found within most of our hampers!
Hand made by skilled Suffolk master bakers.
Zesty Lemon Curd:
One of the judges described our lemon curd as ‘sunshine in a jar’ and we’re with them there! Soft, rich, buttery, with sharp citrus notes, many say it’s the best lemon curd they've ever had.
Handmade in small batches in Essex; Autumnal breakfasts never tasted so good!
Blood Orange Marmalade:
We love everything about this marmalade. The aroma and taste are just SO orangey and the chunky peel texture is delightful.
And just the right colour for Autumn, wouldn’t you say?!
Handcrafted by artisans in Essex with great quality blood oranges. Just delicious!
Red Onion Marmalade:
Handmade in Essex, this is a chutney with a lovely texture and a perfect sweet-sour balance. Gorgeous with cheese and biscuits (it actually could go with anything, it’s so tasty!) and very seasonal!
Sea Salt and Black Pepper Corn Crunch:
A moreish savoury snack. Deeply roasted corn perfectly salted. Enjoy on its own or with glass of wine or beer after that sharp autumn walk.
Bean to Bar Milk Chocolate:
This chocolate, handmade in Devon by the talented chocolatier Willie Harcourt-Cooze, is sublime. Rich, smooth and creamy. The best milk chocolate ever, in our opinion!
Best enjoyed when you're cosied up and it’s bucketing down outside.
Chocolate Dipped Almonds:
Created by artisan chocolatier Willie Harcourt-Cooze, these toasted, crunchy, nutty delights are covered with thick, high-quality chocolate and tumbled in a dusting of cacao and a sprinkling of Cornish sea salt.
What’s not to like?
Great as a cosy after- dinner treat or, naughtily, at any time!
Lemon Butter Shortbread:
Wow, this is some shortbread!
Handmade by artisan bakers in Suffolk and standing out from the crowd, it’s light and crispy and lemony.
Great for some lazy afternoon indulgence.
Stem Ginger Cookies:
Hand-baked in Suffolk, get ready to enjoy crunchy, chewy, gingery deliciousness!
These biscuits are delightful pick-me-ups for those days you’re missing summer.
Decadent Drinking Chocolate:
This is the season for hot chocolate! Enjoyed indoors by a roaring fire or outdoors on Bonfire Night, this hot chocolate is a great pleasure, and we’re very proud of this one.
Created by Willie Harcourt-Cooze in Devon it's rich, creamy and unbelievably chocolatey. It's the is ultimate comfort.
Dark Chocolate Mint Creams:
Glossy top quality chocolate combined with strong peppermint makes these the absolute go-to for an after-dinner mint. Biting through the chocolate to reach the minty centre is an experience we wish you all to share!
