Cured meat/ cheeses

tomparker95 · 27 Nov 2023 at 10:02

Hi all anywhere good apart from the supermarkets to get a dried meat/charcuterie selection with cheeses olives etc for Xmas?

Don’t want to spend a absolute fortune but would like it in a package if that makes sense - or if anyone knows of a product a supermarket does sell as i can’t seem to find any( prob being stupid

)

Thanks

If you are prepared to travel up to London, Borough Market usually has some excellent Xmas fayre, definitely worth a look around if you are in the locality.

You must have a deli/farm shop near you providing local and continental meats and chesses in hampers.

Quick google shows https://www.rassasyferring.com/ that looks interesting and supplies bespoke hampers.

Paxtons and La Fromagerie a solid start for cheese

snowdoniacheese for the cheese

apparently ginger and dobbs stock it and that seems to be local to you

As above, farm shops would generally be the place to go, however be warned anything packaged as a hamper will likely have a hugely inflated price.

I know you said other than supermarkets, but i imagine M&S would do a decent selection of nicer stuff for the occasion.

Finefoodspecialist does some hampers but you are going to get screwed on price.

I hate to be that guy but isn't this literally one of the easiest things to put together yourself?

Buy meat, buy cheese, buy hamper, combine.
