Easter signifies Spring, sweet treats and an occasion for families to get together now more than ever after what seems a long darkish time at the coalface of Covid-19 restrictions. Restrictions, sensible though they are – which are now easing. Hooray…
For Easter, ‘international farmers market’ Delicario (www.delicario.com) are introducing a festive variety of gift boxes and hampers of authentic artisan flavours from sustainably minded small-scale and family producers in different European regions, as well as a range of fine chocolate Easter eggs. With a ‘farm to table approach’, Frost Magazine’s regular readers will know that Delicario’s emphasis is on high quality natural ingredients reliant on organic generational farming methods and natural preservation.
Delicario was set up by a small team of specialists working in the luxury services industry with a passion for food and travel to source outstanding delicacies to sell in their online shop as individual items, gift boxes and hampers. The new Easter range features biscuits, cakes, chocolates and Easter eggs made to artisan recipes by small Italian chocolatiers and bakeries, accompanied by fine tea and Premier Cru Rosé Champagne from family vineyard Damien-Buffet. From Belgium there’s an elegant selection box of eye-catching praline eggs handcrafted by Frederic Blondeel.
EASTER GIFT BOX AND HAMPER RANGE is well worth thinking about.
Delicario Easter Essentials Hamper is filled with gluten-free artisan treats from Italian chocolatier Autore, including milk chocolate mini eggs with sticky but crunchy croccantino, a signature Easter egg crusted with pistachios from Bronte, a chocolate bar made with traditional hazelnut paste, accompanied by fine and delicate Darjeeling tea.

Delicario Sweet Easter Hamper is for all the family to enjoy, including hand-crafted mini eggs of fine milk chocolate and a single source Madagascar dark chocolate egg from Italian artisan chocolatier Autore. Also included are a melt-in-the-mouth sourdough Pear and Chocolate Bauletto cake, fragrant lemon cookies and crunchy rich dark chocolate and hazelnut Goloso biscuits made to authentic Italian recipes by Olivieri 1882 and Kucino.

The egg is an ancient symbol of new life and Delicario have selected artisan chocolatier Autore from the picturesque Italian village of San Marco dei Cavoti in the Campania hills for their handcrafted chocolate eggs and also Frederic Blondeel from Belgium, creating an elegant selection box of handmade chocolates eggs with organic cocoa sourced from India, Costa Rica, Peru, Ecuador and Vietnam.
My particular favourite is Autore’s ‘miracle’, or so I call it. Honestly, it’s glorious; an egg made from extra fine chocolate, crusted in origin-protected crunchy hazelnuts from Avellino in Italy and there’s another in Bronte pistachios also of protected origin. Honestly, these must be savoured – slowly. And then let’s do an Oliver Twist: ‘More please, Sir.’ And for heaven’s sake let’s forget the diet.
There is more, so you’ll need to go to the very friendly and slick website and b-r-o-w-s-e, making sure you check out the INDIVIDUAL EASTER EGGS https://www.delicario.com/chocolates/easter-eggs
Delicario’s aim is to bring families together around the dining table. From daily deli needs to cherished presents for celebrating special dates and events, their individual items, artisan meal boxes, gift boxes and hampers capture the very best of authentic ingredients to create a ‘dining out experience’ at home. Each gift box and hamper can also be individually tailored by selecting products from the Delicario range. Gift vouchers and personalised greeting cards offer a personal touch. Delicario offer a 24-hour delivery service across the UK and advance delivery can also be scheduled. And trust me, their deliveries are speedy, and all is as they say.

Our producers are perfectionists who move with the times but remain dedicated to the artisan techniques and recipes passed down through family generations.”
