Becky Says: A Gift of True Flavours and Tradition
This hamper is all about celebrating the flavours that make Christmas special. I’ve chosen the Quinta do Crasto 2018 Vintage Port because it’s a true classic—a port that has depth, structure, and a hint of that irresistible berry richness. When paired with the creamy, tangy Stilton from Cropwell Bishop, it’s the ultimate indulgence for any festive gathering.
The biscuits made with Isle of Mull cheese add a beautiful savoury element, with the Traditional biscuits offering that classic cheesy richness, while the Harissa & Cumin variety brings a gentle warmth that pairs wonderfully with the port. And, of course, the Christmas Chutney adds just the right touch of festive sweetness. For me, this hamper isn’t just about the ingredients—it’s about creating moments to savour with friends and family around the table. A remarkable gift for anyone who appreciates the finer things this season.
