Delcario, (their artisan products already tried and tested by some of the Frost Team who are still raving about them) , have created tailored gifts of fine artisan food and wine in gift boxes and hampers – available online for home delivery as the perfect gourmet surprise for mothers to enjoy.
Once a year Mother’s Day is the ideal opportunity to let your mum know she is loved, appreciated and treasured. I say this from the heart, as mother of 4! Given the stay-at-home Mother’s Day approaching, it’s surely a great idea to send a gift box or hamper of indulgent artisan treats. Treats created from natural and often organic ingredients by family and small-scale producers across Europe.
Priced at £46, Delicario Mother’s Day Sweet Wishes Gift Box is a sweet sensation of Italian lavender biscuits, Piedmont hazelnuts covered in milk chocolate, a fragrant apricot tart from artisan bakery Olivieri 1882, the zestiest of orange marmalades from southern Italy (glorious, having tested it) and a beautiful tin of bold English Breakfast tea. Each item is carefully packed in tissue paper, wood wool and presented in an embossed gift box with ribbon.
The Delicario We Love Mum Hamper sells at £53 and is a quality small wicker hamper that brings the much missed travel experience home with an artisan journey through flavours of Sicilian green olive paté, (Sicily -think Salvo Montalbano. I haven’t been, I must) mature sheep cheese with sprigs of thyme, the world’s best toasted hazelnuts from Piedmont and aromatic prosciutto, accompanied by a crisp white Sauvignon from the Rioja region.
All sounds wonderful. Would it be wrong to send a hamper to myself?

Frost Magazine loves that even in tricky times Delicario stand out for their ability to source authentic flavours from the best artisan producers: Spanish and Italian antipasti of artisan cheese, cured ham, pâté, specialty olives and grilled vegetables preserved in extra virgin olive oil. From porcini mushroom cream to select Wagyu and Chianina beef cuts, authentic artisan pasta, sauces and hand-made chocolate and baked treats, to family vineyard fine wine and champagne, dedicated artisan elaboration is at the heart of every delicacy.
Items are sold individually as well as in artisan meal boxes, gift boxes and hampers and there are vegan and gluten-free options available. (I sent a gluten free hamper to a pal and she was thrilled)
Remember also, that one of the gang at Delicario will always help to personalise the hamper. If you know someone doesn’t like a particular product in a box or hamper – no problems, just tell them and they’ll come up with substitutes.
The presentation of each embossed gift box and wicker hamper is luxurious with artistic labelling and packaging of every item, tissue paper, wood wool, sustainable chill pouches for fresh foods and personalised greetings cards for the perfect finishing touch. Twenty-four-hour delivery is available as well as the opportunity to schedule in advance for occasions such as Mother’s Day.
Founder Marco Rosa remarked, “This year in particular, when families have been kept apart and travel has been restricted, mum will cherish a thoughtful gift of exquisite artisan flavours from across Europe.”
