Which Products we select

As you set out on the thoughtful journey of selecting the perfect Christmas Gift, our Cheese and Wine Hampers stand as proof to the essence of giving. Each carefully curated Hamper embodies the rich flavours of Ireland and pays tribute to the dedicated local artisans who pour their heart into creating exceptional products that we use inside all of our Gifts.

At the core of these Hampers are exceptional cheeses sourced from family-run businesses like Carrigaline. In the heart if south-east Cork, Ann and Pay O’Farrell have been crafting exceptional cheese since 1987.

These Cheeses not only symbolise exceptional taste but also pay tribute to the dedication of these producers to the people of Ireland and beyond.

Complementing these artisanal cheeses are carefully selected premium wines. The Shiraz brings a robust and full-bodied profile, originating from the sun-kissed vineyards. This red wine boasts bold flavours of dark fruits. Chardonnay, on the other hand, offers a touch of elegance to the ensemble. This white wine provides a delightful contrast to the richness of the cheeses. Pinot Noir is a red wine celebrated for its delicate flavours. Its medium body and acidity make it an ideal match for a variety of cheeses. Then Sauvignon Blanc offers a lively contrast to the creaminess of the cheese. And for moments of celebration, Prosecco takes centre stage. With a touch of sweet it brings a joyful and effervescent quality to the tasting experience known as an Irish Gourmet Christmas Hamper.

Beyond the pairing of cheese and wine, our Hampers extend to a selection of snacks along with an array of delectable baked goods and specialty items sourced from across the EU, adding an extra layer of indulgence to every Hamper.

In enhancing the tasting journey, we’ve included locally made condiments from artisan producers. Crossogue Chutney and Brownlee Jam, born from a commitment to quality and tradition stand as the perfect accompaniment to our Cheese and Wine Hampers.

In a market often dominated by repetitious ideas, we distinguish ourselves by prioritising the quality food over alcohol. Meaning we put as much importance on the food within our Gifts as well as the wine. Within our Hampers you won’t find sample-sized goods, but rather full-sized premium products that further illustrates our dedication to providing the very best.

As you embark on this journey of gifting, know that with each bite and sip, your loved one isn’t just indulging in a feast; they’re partaking in the essence of an Irish Christmas, woven together with care and consideration. Now that you’ve discovered the heart and soul that goes into our Cheese and Wine Hampers, let’s delve into how we promise they reach your friends and family with the same care and consideration.
