For example, ‘hungry for charcuterie’, the first in a series of indulgent food boxes by adm, includes seeded flat-bread handmade in London, beechwood smoked cheddar cheese from North Wales, a sticky fig and port chutney produced in York, and a selection of antipasti sourced directly from a family-run olive grove in southern Italy. The ‘Hungry’ range pushes back against the over-saturated market of cookie- cutter food hampers and focuses on food for the soul.
