Quicke’s launches Joy Boxes, bringing friends together through food

Packed with a Devon-sent selection of award-winning food and drink, the new Joy Boxes from clothbound cheddar-maker, Quicke’s, come with everything needed for a memorable meal in the garden or that long-awaited picnic in the park. Designed to spread some much-needed joy, whether sent as gifts, enjoyed al fresco with the family or used to cater a Zoom picnic party to bring the whole gang back together, these carefully curated parcels are a celebration of life’s simple pleasures.

With a range of occasions in mind, the Quicke’s Joy Boxes come in two varieties; Deliciously Delicate and Mighty & Moreish. The Deliciously Delicate selection comes with a bottle of Sharpham Sparkling Blanc to get the party started, fresh from the cellars of the Totnes-based winemaker, along with 200g wedges of Quicke’s Goat’s Milk Clothbound Cheese, Devonshire Red and the mixed-milk Lady Prue. Accompanied by The Fine Cheese Co’s Fig, Honey and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crackers, Hillside Celery Pickle and Devon Flower Honey, this box is jam-packed with potential pairings to fill a whole hazy afternoon.

For fans of bold flavours, the Mighty & Moreish box delivers in a big way, with Quicke’s Vintage Clothbound Cheddar, Extra Mature Clothbound Cheddar and Oak Smoked Clothbound Cheddar paired up with Sandford Orchards’ Devon Red and Devon Mist ciders. Good Game’s Charcuterie Selection pack brings cured meat into the mix, made with free range pork from local producers, while Hillside Piccalilli and The Fine Cheese Co’s Chilli and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crackers ensure that every part of this parcel packs a punch.

A chance to share in the joy of food, these boxes also provide an opportunity to support a number of Devon’s artisan producers, as the lockdown continues to take its toll on many independent food and drink makers. One of many businesses reaching out online to connect with customers old and new, Quicke’s is holding weekly cheese tutorials and cooking demos live on Instagram every Friday night at 7pm, giving friends even more opportunity to come together and connect from their kitchens.

Customers will be invited to share their joy on social media, using the hashtag #cheeseboxjoy, bringing even more people together through food.

Quicke’s Joy Boxes can be purchased from www.quickes.co.uk and are available for next day delivery across the UK. The Deliciously Delicate Joy Box is priced at £65, with the Mighty & Moreish Joy Box available for £50.
