Picnic season may have arrived a little later in 2024, but now it’s here we’re not wasting any time. There have been so many mouth-watering foodie releases over the past few months, but we have to hand it to luxury retailer Whole Foods Market regarding the cream of the crop.
We can spend hours browsing the aisles of their Kensington store (and often do), and always come away with some inventive treats having spent way more than we’d hoped. To help you up your summer picnic game, we’ve rounded up some Whole Foods Market purchases that will transform your pack-up from good to great.
Superbon Chips De Madrid
We’re obsessed with everything potato chips here at Crave and these salt and Cretan herb crisps from Superbon de Madrid are dangerously moreish. Light, fragrant and herby, they also happen to go brilliantly with an ice cold Corona.
Soffle’s Mild Pitta Chips
Delicately spiced with garlic and a hint of Scotch bonnet chilli, these oven-roasted pitta chips pack a mighty crunch. Pair them with your favourite cheese, hummus, salsa or dipping sauce for a deliciously indulgent snack.
Isle of Mull Traditional Farmhouse Cheese Biscuits
These luxury biscuits are made using mature Cheddar from the milk of single herd Friesian, Holstein and Brown Swiss cattle fed on grass and barley from the Tobermory distillery. The end result is a rich, creamy biscuit with a melt-in-the-mouth texture and a bold cheesy punch. Apparently they pair perfectly with a fine Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Sounds good to us.
Easy Bean Morocco Crisp Breads
Handmade using naturally gluten free chickpea flour, farmhouse butter and buttermilk, these crispbreads are next level tasty. Topped with crunchy flaked almonds, toasted flax and sesame seeds, they’re ideal for taking your cheeseboard up a notch.
New Theory White Lies Orange Wine
If you’ve not yet jumped on the orange wine hype train, then perhaps New Theory White Lies from Stellenbosch South Africa is the one to turn you. Boasting a clean, fresh taste with notes of white flower, this light and refreshing orange wine is summer in a glass. It’s also cracking married up with seafood, especially shellfish.
Betty Booze Sparkling Tequila with Oak Smoked Lemonade
We’ve had mixed results with the seemingly endless number of pre-mixed cocktails flooding the market, but this sparkling tequila tipple from Betty Booze is a revelation. Infused with warm oak, orange and a dash of butter, this tequila and lemonade combo only needs ice for the perfect serve.
Something & Nothing Cucumber Seltzer
If you’re looking for a refreshing change when it comes to alcohol free summer drinks, then it doesn’t get any better than this cucumber seltzer. Pour over ice for the ultimate summer sipper, or add your favourite tequila for a boozy delight.
