Award-winning chocolatier Booja-Booja is launching two new gift ranges in stunning, hand-designed packaging.
The company are introducing new heart-shaped gift boxes to their Artist’s Collection range, plus two new limited-edition Chocolate Truffle Loglets for Easter.
Heart-shaped gift boxes
The new heart-shaped gift boxes are handmade and painted in Kashmir, India, by the same community of artists Booja-Booja has been working with for 21 years. Each one is finished with a hand-tied ribbon to create an exceptional gift for chocolate lovers. Available in two flavours, Chocolate Salted Caramel and Fine de Champagne, the gift boxes each contain 12 heart-shaped chocolate truffles, made with smooth, organic dark chocolate and dusted in cocoa powder. Designed to be treasured as a keepsake long after the chocolates inside have been enjoyed, the heart-shaped gift boxes are part of the Booja-Booja Artist’s Collection and will be available all year round.
Easter special truffle loglets
New for Easter 2024 are two boxes of Chocolate Truffle Loglets presented in stunning, hand-illustrated boxes. Especially long truffles, rolled in dark chocolate flakes, Booja-Booja Chocolate Truffle Loglets were first introduced in autumn 2023 as part of a new gifting range and immediately proved extremely popular with consumers. The boxes for the new Easter Edition Truffle Loglets feature a playful seasonal illustration by Norfolk artist Pippa Mulvany. Embellished with gold foiling the boxes are exquisitely eye-catching and designed to make a deliciously joyful gift. Available for a limited season only, the Easter Edition Truffle Loglets are available in two flavours; fruity, crunchy Raspberry Scrunch and chewy, moreish Chocolate Salted Caramel.
Booja-Booja has been making dairy free, organic chocolate truffles in Norfolk since 1999 and its chocolate truffles are available from more than two thousand stockists throughout the UK, including independent wholefood stores, fine food shops, delis and selected supermarkets. The new heart-shaped boxes and Easter Special Chocolate Truffle Loglets are available from the company’s usual wholesale partners.
All Booja-Booja products are vegan, dairy free, gluten free, soya free and organic. Celebrated for its delicious, melt-in-the-mouth treats, Booja-Booja has won 180 awards and is recognised as one of the leading vegan and free-from confectionery brands in the UK.
Suma Wholefoods has announced that it is launching a new range of organic pestos, ready for spring. The range will launch with two products, one a green basil pesto and the other a red sun-dried tomato pesto, both of which are vegan and authentically Italian.
Suma, specialists in wholefoods and plant-based alternatives, offer a wide range of Italian products, from pasta and sauces to tomatoes and oils, all sourced fairly from the finest growers and producers.
Kate Willis, Brand Co-ordinator at Suma, commented: “Due to supply issues we couldn’t continue with our existing Italian pesto range. This left us with the challenge of sourcing a new range. We were looking for authentically produced Italian pesto and were really lucky to find some which are made in the Genoese area of Italy.
“We think customers will enjoy our new pestos as much as we do. We are really excited about the range and hopefully will bring some more new and existing additions soon.
“These pestos are good to have in stock, they’re ambient products, with a long shelf-life, and in recyclable packaging. And a great price too.”
Kate added: “Did you know pesto comes from the Italian word ‘pestare’ which means ‘to pound’ or ‘to grind’? It’s also where we get the word ‘pestle’, as in pestle and mortar. Who knew?”
Pesto is versatile store cupboard staple, perfect stirred through pasta or added to a sandwich for a quick, tasty meal, and can also be used as a multipurpose condiment – stir it through roasted veg, add a dollop to soups, drizzle on salads and pop on a jacket potato for an extra taste kick.
Available to order from www.wholesale.suma.coop from 1st March 2024.
