Christmas 2026

A little taste of my Tuscany

Not the Italian products you find everywhere, but the real hidden gems.

From a neighbourhood bakery in Lucca to a tiny olive oil estate producing just 2,000 litres a year, I've personally selected exceptional products from small Tuscan artisans who put quality before quantity. Alongside my own handmade specialities, they come together in beautifully presented Christmas gift boxes and bespoke hampers.

Thoughtful gifts, authentic flavours and a little piece of my Tuscany to share.

Gift boxes from £35 · Bespoke hampers from £120 · Luxury Tuscan hampers from £150+

About the products

The Panettone

Made by a small bakery on the outskirts of Lucca, using exceptional ingredients and traditional methods. Beautifully light and fluffy — nothing like the dense, stodgy panettone you sometimes find here — and available in Classico or Dark Chocolate.

The Olive Oil

Organic Tuscan IGP Extra Virgin Olive Oil from a tiny artisan producer in the hills of Lucca. Single-estate, certified organic, early harvested and cold extracted, with naturally high polyphenols. Only around 2,000 litres are produced each year.

The Pappardelle

Made by an artisan pastificio between Lucca and Pisa, using the same pasta machines they have been using since the business was founded in 1953, before being slowly air-dried.

The Pulled Beef Ragù al Chianti

My own recipe, slow-cooked for six hours with plenty of Chianti DOCG. Made for me in Tuscany by a husband-and-wife team who have been producing artisan ragù and sauces for around 30 years.

The Porcini & Black Truffle Bruschetta Spread

Made by Gemignani, a Tuscan family of truffle specialists since 1930, now in their fourth generation. Porcini and black summer truffle, perfect on warm bruschetta. Found in the Dinner & Wine Box and premium hampers.

The Truffle Salami

A traditional Tuscan salami flavoured with black truffle, made in Lucca and perfect as a starter or for an aperitivo. Found in the larger hampers.

The Tuscan Wines

From elegant Chianti Classico and prestigious Gran Selezione to Brunello di Montalcino and exceptional Super Tuscans, our carefully selected wines showcase the richness and diversity of Tuscany's vineyards. Each bottle is chosen to complement our artisan specialities and make every gift feel that little bit more special.

The Biscuits

All four biscuits are handmade by me in Dulwich.

Cantucci are perhaps Tuscany's most iconic biscuits, baked twice to achieve their distinctive crunch and traditionally enjoyed with a glass of sweet wine — or dunked into coffee or tea.

Ricciarelli are wonderfully soft almond biscuits typical of Siena; mine are made with just four ingredients.

Rose del Deserto (Desert Roses) are traditional Tuscan biscuits made with cornflakes and dark chocolate. I make mine in a vegan version, so they're a particularly good option for office gifting where there may be different dietary requirements.

Befanotti are traditional Tuscan biscuits usually made to celebrate Epiphany, when La Befana — the much-loved old lady of Italian folklore — travels from house to house bringing presents to children.
