‘ GOURMET MARKET’

festive hamper collection This holiday season’s most delicious and divine gift idea

-

Gourmet Market’s exclusive holiday collection features six premium quality food and beverage collection­s, available individual­ly or in pre-curated sets. Each Gourmet Makers contributo­r is a recognised industry expert, with a wealth of experience and proven track record of inspired culinary and beverage creations.

Chef Erwin Eberharter — former Executive Chef at the renowned Dusit Thani Hotel and owner of Fine Food & Two Chefs Co. — has curated the “Award-Winning Feast” hamper from the finest gourmet groceries available at Gourmet Market.

This hamper features a selection of items chosen for their exceptiona­l quality and flavour, including Casa Leonardi Balsamico’s 100-year-old Gran Riserva Oro balsamic, a hand crafted, barrel aged vinegar. Each individual­ly numbered bottle comes in an attractive gift-box, while the Cortijo De Suerte Alta Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a family estate bottled oil made from Picuda, Hojiblanca and Picual olives, redolent with hints of green apple and fresh-cut tomato and a subtly bitter-note finish. And from Australia comes Riversdale Farm’s Winter Vegetable Drizzle. Made for sprinkling over any type of root vegetables before roasting for perfect carameliza­tion, it also adds a zesty touch to any sweet or savoury dish or can be mixed with sour cream for a delightful poultry sauce. With over a century of coffee-related experience, research and innovation, Italian brand Lavazza is known worldwide for its rich, flavourful blends. Made from Arabica beans, Lavazza Qualità Oro coffee combines a smooth, sophistica­ted flavour and a pleasingly intense aroma.

In collaborat­ion with Doroteo Valez, Charcuteri­e/Spanish Cuisine Master and owner of Rico Rico, Gourmet Market presents the “Fiesta De Jamón Ibérico” hamper, a treasure trove of delicacies from Spain, a country known for a deep passion for food. Widely considered the world’s finest, Iberico Ham ( Jamón Ibérico) gets its unique, irresistib­le flavour and exquisite marbling from a 36-month curing process, as well as the use of free range Iberian pigs fed entirely on acorns and herbs. Manchego Cheese originated in Spain’s La Mancha region. Made from ewe’s milk, it is commonly aged in olive oil and features a deep-yellow rind and creamy white interior. With a buttery-nutty, slightly sour flavour and firm texture, Manchego is a good grating and melting cheese. A popular Christmast­ime confection, Turrón Soft Nougut is an almond variety made with appellatio­n-protected Agramunt’s Nugat, while the Torrons Vicens breaks tradition by offering a crunchy-soft nougat variety.

Japanese Wagyu Beef expert and Vice President of M&W Wagyu, Mayuki Matsuo presents the “Kuro Ushi Japanese Beef” hamper, featuring Kuro-ushi Beef made from the Bizen Black cow. In the idyllic setting of the famed Kishimoto ranch in Japan’s Okayama Prefecture, Bizen Blacks are raised on a diet of wheat, soy, beans, corn, rapeseed, straw and bran fortified with calcium and vitamins, and fattened for six months longer than the usual 24-month period used for common commercial cattle. In Japan, gifting with Kuro-ushi beef is reserved for only the most esteemed recipients.

No holiday party would be complete without the drinks to toast the New Year. This “Festive Fizz” hamper of juices, sparkling water and fresh fruits give any host the means of creating amazing mocktails that are sure to be the life of the party. Curated and inspired by Brothers Ben-David & Dannie Sorum — Co-Executive Directors of creative consultanc­y events company Flow Cocktail — the Rose & Gold Mocktail Hamper features two fabulous and easy-to-make drink recipes, including ROSE, an aromatic blend of cranberry, rosemary, vanilla, clove and lemon, or the GOLD, an intriguing medley of apple, cinnamon, cardamom, orange and saffron.

In addition to these six premium-tier Gourmet Makers gift hampers, Gourmet Market has over 100 varieties of hampers filled with popular products everyone knows and loves, available at all branches of Gourmet Market and Home Fresh Mart.
