Frost are foodies. Anyone who has ever come across this magazine will know that. So when we got sent some Meg’s Cottage homemade fudge via Caprera, a new online artisan food and beverages marketplace, we decided to check it out. Frankly, our bellies rumbled and our mouth was watering. Take a look for yourself. The fudge they sent was delicious.

The website features high-end products made in small batches by independent producers. Customers will be able to order from an assortment of over 200 artisan products from around the UK.

Caprera aims to let people reconnect with nature, remember their roots and the origins of food by enhancing interactions between artisan food lovers and small independent producers.

At present, 15 artisan producers have joined this growing marketplace. The company expects rapid growth as the platform develops toward its official launch later this year.

Solving the logistics challenge of food delivery has been famously difficult. Other companies attempting to create a marketplace for producers have struggled to consolidate delivery or work with small batch producers. Caprera fixes this by creating a complete end-to-end ordering experience, where customers can shop from any of the listed producers and receive their order in a single delivery in the following week.

“This could be a game changer for food lovers everywhere. Broadening access to craft foods made by artisan producers across the country means we don’t have to settle for second best anymore.” – Jeremy Hibbert-Garibaldi, Co-Founder

Caprera espouses full transparency in the supply chain and strongly highlights the story behind each product and producer. They have produced several mini-documentaries of producers sharing how they make great food.

Caprera has also published an online food lifestyle magazine with original content about artisan food culture.
