Gift giving can quickly feel stressful when you have to search for something your family or friends will love. But when you give the gift of a Gourmet Food and Wine Hamper, you’re guaranteed to give your loved ones something they’ll love.
We’re taking a deep dive into some of our favourite items in the gourmet food and wine hamper by Australian Gourmet Gifts. Hint: everything is Australian made, delicious and exclusive.
1) Schild Estate Barossa Valley Shiraz
This vintage wine is from South Australia’s iconic Barossa Valley and is crafted using a blend of Shiraz grapes from select vineyards. With dark chocolate and plum hints, this wine makes the perfect pairing for a rich, slow-cooked casserole. You can find this wine in the Barossa Red & White Wine Hamper, and it’s the perfect winter warmer.
2) Kangaroo Island Smoked Kalamata Olives
The Australian Kangaroo Island Kalamata olives are juicy, plump and bursting with flavour. To give them their rustic flavour, they’re deliciously wood smoked. You can add these to your favourite dishes, including pizza, antipasti, salads, cooking sauces and focaccias. The Kangaroo Island olives are available in the Gourmet Sensations Hamper.
3) Charlie’s Cookies Choc Salted Caramel Mini Melting Moments
Charlie’s chocolate cookies are the dream gift for dark chocolate lovers. The Mini Melting Moments won gold at the 2018 Australian Food Awards. Family and friends will be asking you where they can find more of these delicious little morsels. Some of our hampers also stock the raspberry version with a white choc buttercream centre.
4) Ogilvie & Co. Caramel Fudge Sauce
Add a touch of decadence to any dessert with the Ogilvie & Co. Caramel Fudge Sauve. This velvety sauce is rich with flavour and the perfect addition to desserts such as ice cream, cake and pudding.
