Hello Cheesey Gift Basket shoppers,

We've introduced a range of savoury gift baskets, which includes 4 gourmet cheeses and a bottle of wine for under £45. With delivery to the UK and Ireland for only £3.99, our British customers asked for a £45 price point and we delivered.

The cheeses within this new range of Cheesey Gift Baskets include:

BallyBrie:
Handmade by Ian and Rodney, Ballybrie has an edible snow white rind with a faint aroma of fresh field mushrooms that encases a rich, creamy flavour and soft butter like texture

BallyBlue:
This cheese was one of the first Irish blue cheeses and its many awards testify that it is still one of the best.
Streaks of blue run through the centre of the cheese to give a piquant sharpness that complements the creaminess of the cheese.

O'Reilly's Irish Goats Cheese:
A smoot creamy goats cheese with a fresh lemony flavour, O'Reilly's is ideal for a cheeseboard and can be rolled in herbs or spices to give it a completely new character or melted into jacket potatoes to add depth and flavour.

Smoked Cheddar Oakwood:
Only the finest cheddars are selected to become Oakwood. After maturing for up to 6 months, oak logs are sustainably foraged from the local forest of Caledon and slowly smouldered to release rich plumes of aromatic smoke that impart a gentle flavour and robust aroma.

All these cheeses are available from Fivemiletown who you can email at welovecheese@fivemiletown.com.

Basketsgalore also offers cheese from Bandon and The Causeway Cheese Company in addition to Fivemiletown. However, most of this new range of Cheese and Wine Gift Baskets contains the quadruple pack of cheeses mentioned above. As a gift basket company we find it difficult to source immaculately packed cheese gifts. So we asked Fivemiletown to produce it for us.

Already selling well is the Cheese and White Basket which includes the 4 cheeses mentioned, 750ml of pressed apple juice, 750ml Californian Pinot Grigio, oatcakes, siena nuts, pretzels, devils bite nuts, gold medal award winning cucumber relish and seriously sticky apple and orange Chutney from OffBeat Bottling Company. This chutney is brand new to Basketsgalore and has been entered in the 2010 Great Taste Awards. OffBeat are to the chutney producing world what Barcelona are to the football world. They expect to win everything they enter, so we have included it in our range of Baskets in expectation of victory.

We hope you enjoy perusing our new wine and cheese hampers and baskets. And if our creations aren't exactly what you want, then visit createyourowngiftbasket.co.uk and design it yourself.
