Yorkshire Pasta and Friends Gift Bundle

The wonderful artisan producers featured in our Gift Bundle include:

Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil
The delicate nutty flavour of this multi-award winning oil comes from the chalky soil of the Yorkshire Wolds, where Jennie and Adam Palmer have been producing cold pressed rapeseed oil since 2008. With their original rapeseed oil as a base, they now produce a wide variety of infused oils and mayonnaise, and they also make bread-dipping oils under the Charlie & Ivy's brand.

Jennie was instrumental in helping us set up The Yorkshire Pasta Company, and has been a huge supporter of ours ever since.

Sloemotion Botanical Vodka
This award-winning vodka from the team at Sloemotion Distillery includes six botanicals foraged from local hedgerows around their farm in North Yorkshire: crab apple, rosehip, elderflower, nettle leaf & wildflower meadow hay. Founded in 2002, Sloemotion Distillery is an artisan business creating great tasting spirits and liqueurs. It is owned and run by Joff Curtoys - an ecologist by training with a love of homemade Sloe Gin - who started the business almost by accident, when a farming initiative to improve wildlife habitats resulted in an abundance of sloes.

We cross paths with Joff and the team at various events throughout the year, and he has a wealth of experience that he's always willing to share.

Guppy's Chocolates
Peter and Fran Guppy are based in York, and have been making the most luxurious handmade chocolates since they started in 2010. Their Ruby Chocolate has the most beautiful pink colour - totally natural - with flavours of red berries and fresh sour notes. It's vegetarian, gluten free, palm oil free, and supports 100% sustainably sourced cocoa.

Cosy Cottage
Clara Challoner Walker founded Cosy Cottage in the kitchen of her 350 year old cottage in North Yorkshire - she had become concerned about the harmful effects of the additives used in commercially produced soaps while she was recovering from breast cancer, and as a qualified chemist she used her knowledge to start producing natural soaps at home. The business has grown and grown, and now has a small manufacturing premises in Malton, together with the Cosy Cottage Store.
