More of everything, and better

The same trunk with half as much again inside it. More caviar and a better grade of it, more foie gras entier, the truffle range at full width, and the cheese and charcuterie in quantity rather than in ones. This is the hamper a company sends when the gift has to be remembered in February.

Who it is for

A trunk is a corporate gift or a family gift, not a personal one – it is too big for one person and it is meant to be unpacked in front of people. It is also the only hamper we make that is worth keeping after it is empty: the trunk is a real wicker trunk with a hinged lid and it lasts.

Who makes it

Clos Saint Sozy work in the Lot, in the south-west of France, in the traditional way. Conservas Virto have been canning in Navarra since 1927 and still do most of it by hand. Acetaia Castelli have been ageing in Modena under IGP for four generations. Donna Itriya work in Puglia with ancient grains and bronze dies. We import these ourselves rather than buying through a wholesaler, which is why a hamper of this size costs what it does rather than twice as much. You can read how the protected designations work at the European Commission.

Packing and delivery

We pack this one in a 22-inch wicker trunk hamper with a hinged lid, finished with raffia and a ribbon, and it travels inside its own heavy outer carton so the trunk itself arrives unmarked. It is heavy – two people to lift it comfortably. Everything is packed by hand in Worcestershire on the day it leaves us. Order early for Christmas: trunks are made to order and December slots fill from the middle of November. We deliver across mainland UK and can send it straight to the recipient with a handwritten card and no prices anywhere in the parcel. See the rest of the range on our Christmas gift hampers page.

How to serve it

Take the cheese out of the fridge a good hour before anyone eats it – cold cheese tastes of very little. Cut the soft cheeses in wedges from the centre and leave the hard ones whole with a knife beside them. Foie gras and terrine want to come out of the fridge fifteen minutes beforehand and be cut with a warm blade, onto toast or brioche rather than a cracker that fights them. Caviar cold, in the tin, set into ice – and never with a metal spoon, which taints it. Truffle goes on last and over something plain and hot: black truffle stands up to heat, white truffle does not, so keep the white for finishing.
