Becky Says: A Festive Hamper with Heart
The Original Port & Stilton Hamper is one I’ve put together with great pride, as it captures the essence of a truly classic British Christmas. Ferreira’s Ruby Port is a gem—its rich, red fruit notes and beautifully rounded finish make it an absolute pleasure to enjoy alongside a savoury, tangy blue cheese like the Cropwell Bishop Stilton. There’s something about the combination of Port and Stilton that feels so timeless, and each bite and sip brings you back to the essence of festive indulgence.
The biscuits with Isle of Mull Cheese are a brilliant addition, adding a uniquely savoury note that’s rich and deeply flavourful. These biscuits are perfect with the Stilton or on their own, bringing a satisfying crunch to the mix. It’s the kind of pairing you can imagine enjoying by the fireside on Christmas Eve, savouring each taste and letting the warmth of the Port fill your glass. A thoughtful gift that celebrates the season’s flavours, this hamper is perfect for sharing or simply spoiling yourself.
