9/11/2012 5:53 AM EST
Scotland is a country famed for many savoury dishes; their traditional delicacies include Haggis, smoked salmon, cured meats and many artisan cheeses. However, with the Christmas season fast approaching, these food products might not strike anyone as being particularly festive. Christmas brings to mind images of indulgence, sweets and treats; boxes of biscuits to share and chocolate coins under the tree. Scotland’s foray into pleasing the sweet tooth of the nation does not just end with tablet and deep-fried Mars bars. Some of the finest cakes, biscuits, sweets and Christmas treats available to buy originate from the Scottish Highlands and are now available to fill luxury Scottish Hampers.
Gourmet experts at Scottish Hampers, the Christmas hampers and luxury hampers specialists, source only the highest quality local food products, so customers can be sure that their luxury Christmas hampers are packed full of the most delicious food in all of Scotland. Years of experience of building these festive hampers means that the team at Scottish Hampers know how to create a hamper for those with a penchant for sugary delights. Or for those who know exactly what they want, there is the option to build-your-own hamper and indulge a sweet tooth all Christmas long.
For those who like their confectionary steeped in history, the Evolution of the Scot Milk Chocolate Bar is a real gem, with interesting facts about Scotland’s rich history contained in all the wrapping. Beneath the educational packaging lies one of the finest handmade chocolates available, made in south-west Scotland by one of the most talented chocolatiers in the country. Delicious and absorbing, this chocolate bar features in the Argyle luxury food hamper, or can be added to any personalised hamper for just £3.59.
Christmas always brings around a sense of nostalgia, and no sweet can induce as much nostalgia as the famous Wham bar. Produced in Scotland and selling around 30 million bars a year in their heyday, the chewy raspberry bars are beloved by adults and children alike for their tangy aftertaste and embedded fizzy segments. These sticks are sure to evoke memories of the 1980s for many, and they are available for just £0.42 within build-your-own hampers.
The Scottish Nibbles hamper is pre-designed by Scottish Hampers and is full to the brim with chocolates, preserves and biscuits to share over the festive season. Orange Marmalade (Galloway Lodge) and Orange Blossom Honey (Heather Hills) are perfect companions for the Island Bakery Oat Crumbles, and tradition is well and truly adhered to with plenty of Scottish tablet from Thomsons. The whole thing is set off by a bottle of Belvoir Raspberry Lemonade, made with lightly sparkling spring water and real pressed fruit.
