Cornish gifts for foodies
Still trying to decide on your gifts? Here are our suggestions from local Cornish businesses for the chefs and foodies in your life.
Tea time
You can’t go wrong for a tea lover with this Single Estate First Flush and Caddy from British Tea grower, Tregothnan, deep in West Cornwall, freshly plucked from the fabulous first Spring flush. This decadent and delicious tea is lightly scented with the flowers from the tea bushes themselves – the rarest and most elegant varieties ever grown.
£50
Salt of the sea
The perfect stocking stuffer for the chef in your life – Savoury Umami Cornish Seasalt made with sugar kelp and sea salt all hand harvested in Cornwall. The mineral, zesty savoury richness straight from the depths of the sea gives a natural ‘umami’ buzz .
From £3.50
Chocolates by post
Seasonal Cornish made chocolates and truffles – choose a one off delivery or a subscription. Where possible the team at Chocolarder forage the ingredients themselves.
From £26.50
Go bananas
Every foodie needs a bag to bring home their haul and they’ll go bananas (sorry) for this fab, handy shopping bag by ‘Kind Bag’ from Aloft in Padstow. Bonus, it’s made from 100% recycled bottles that have been rescued from the ocean, and 10% of Kind Bags profits go to Just one Ocean, a charity committed to keeping our oceans clean and plastic free.
£10
Festive infusion
Classic Chameleon Pine and Orange Gin, but with a limited edition festive infusion, especially for Christmas.
From £40
Espresso your love
Give them an Origin coffee subscription and make it a present to treasure every day with a fancy new burr grinder. The Sage Espresso Smart Grinder Pro comes with 60 unique settings and maximises the potential of any brew – and comes with a bag of beans to get you started.
£199.95
Breakfast box
Surprise them with a Christmas breakfast with everyone’s favourite Dabara Bakery cinnamon buns plus sourdough loaf and croissants, now available by post.
£25
Cornish Vermouth
Essential for your Christmas cocktails. Mix up a Negroni, Manhattan or a Martini, or compare and contrast the versatility of the dry, white, NEW rosso and rosé blends from Knightor, near to the Eden Project.
£55
Box of brownies
We love Fee’s Food and all that she produces, including excellent brownies which come in a particularly swanky looking gift box, just right for a present (for yourself).
£16
