Father's Day cider and cheese hamper - a west country classic

Father's Day cider and cheese hamper - a west country classic

We are delighted to introduce you to our Artisan Cider and Cheese Hamper - the perfect gift for Father’s Day. In this blog, we will explore all of the exciting elements - from classics to brand-new taste sensations. 
 
If your dad loves a cold glass of cider and an extra special cheese to pair with it, then this is the perfect gift for Father's Day, as well as birthdays, anniversaries and more.
 
 
 
 

the cider:

Perry's Barn Owl Farmhouse Cider & Perry's Heron Single Orchard Cider

What makes this cider very special is how much Perry's care about the ingredients which go into each and every bottle. Perry's ensure that 80% of the apples used are grown in their very own orchard in Somerset. They also refuse to add concentrated juices, flavours or colourings.
 
The bottle of 'Barn Owl' is a farmhouse cider - crisp and refreshing, and winner of a Great Taste Award. The 'Grey Heron' is a single orchard cider, meaning it is made from only the best Redstreak and Dabinett apples grown at Perry's Knowle St Giles Orchard. It is a fruity and sweet cider, perfect for warm summer's evenings.
 
Both pair excellently with our carefully chosen cheese....
 

the cheese:

Croome's Worcestershire Gold Mature Cheddar Cheese

Moving a little further north, we have selected one of the UK's finest cheeses, from Croome Cheese. Their truckle of Worcestershire Gold cheddar cheese is rich and creamy, and just the right amount of mellow. Packaged safely in wax - the cheese is protected and ideal for posting, as well as looking great on arrival.
 
If Dad is a cheese lover, then definitely give him the chance to try this wonderful cheese on Father's Day.
 
 

the chutney:

Tracklements Caramelised Onion Chutney 

To enhance the flavours of the cheese and the sweet apple of the cider, there is also a jar of caramelised onion chutney from Tracklements to be discovered. This is an essential addition to a good cheese board!
 
Tracklements was established in 1970 and is recognised as the company that introduced wholegrain mustard and wider varieties of flavoured jellies into the UK, and now, many flavours of chutney, too.
 
Despite Tracklements' popularity and growth, everything is still made by hand, in small batches, to traditional recipes. Using only top-quality ingredients, carefully selected for their taste, means this wonderful cider gift is further enhanced by the delicious condiment.
 
 

the crackers and extras:

Fionagh's Seeded Sourdough Crackers

For dad to enjoy a full afternoon or post-dinner savoury treat, this Father’s Day hamper also includes a whole box of sourdough crackers - crisp and delicious but with a subtle flavour that won't take anything away from the cheese, cider and chutney combination.
 
Each batch of crackers is made from its own original 'mother' sourdough starter which is nurtured and cared for, leading to crackers with the perfect crunch.

 

Tenuta Marmorelle Cheese and Pepper Taralli

We also love that this Father's Day Cider and Cheese Hamper comes with something a little different for dads to try - Tenuta Marmorelle Cheese and Pepper Taralli.
 
These little golden rings of delight act as the perfect snack alongside a glass of cold cider in the warm afternoon sunshine. Inspired by the traditional Italian snack, Tenuta Marmorelle is dedicated to bringing authentic Italian food from Italy to the UK. The taralli's are light, and crumbly and are sure to melt in the mouth.

Cider and cheese may be a West Country classic, but we feel it can only be further enhanced by drawing on products and flavours from around the country and even a little further afield.
 
We hope you love the selection of food included in our Cider and Cheese Hamper, as much as we do, alongside the two bottles of utterly delicious Somerset cider.
 
This is the perfect gift for cider lovers and cheese lovers - a hamper ideal for Father's Day, birthdays, anniversaries and other significant occasions.
