Artisan food hamper

I was invited to an event today at Cambridge Wine Merchants on Bridge Street to celebrate the launch of Cambridge Artisan, a business started by a teenager in Royston.

"Year 10 school pupil Amelise Burr, has created a new online gift box and hamper company called Cambridge Artisan... each thoughtfully curated hamper presents the very best of Cambridge's artisan food and drink (£59-£135). Gift boxes start from £20."



I had a chance to sample some of the food included; meats, cheeses, fudges and sauces all sourced from local growers, producers and markets. I also had a chance to chat to Amelise's dad who owns his own food business selling churros.

The website is up and running www.cambridgeartisan.co.uk (you won't find it on Google yet I tried) to order the different hampers, each of the individual products are available in the shop as well and currently you will find festive themed ones as it is the season for eating too much.

The samples I tried were delicious, I definitely recommend the red velvet and white chocolate fudge. So if you have been stuck for a Christmas present for someone, or just want to get yourself a treat they are definitely worth checking out.
