MuscleFood launches festive range
As part of its 2018 Gourmet Christmas range, the retailer has created exploding cheese and bacon ‘bombs’, prosecco-flavoured salmon and chocolate pasta parcels. Its flagship product for this year, however, is the 35cm pig in blanket, made from 1.2kg of gluten-free sausage meat, wrapped in streaky bacon.
MuscleFood’s Christmas hampers are also returning for 2018. This year, its Luxury British Turkey Hamper contains enough food to feed 8-10 people on Christmas Day for £60. The hamper features a whole British turkey hen, free range heritage rump steaks, premium pigs in blankets, pork, sage and onion stuffing balls, streaky bacon rashers and premium turkey gravy, as well as a selection of exclusive Christmas freebies from tea towels to recipe binders.
The hampers also include disposable roasting trays and recipes by acclaimed chefs for Christmas leftover dishes.
MuscleFood founder Darren Beale said: “Our Christmas hampers are back and are as luxury as ever, but as we’re trying to make the festive season as stress-free and convenient as possible, we’ve introduced some new items to the range like the Easy Cook 3 Course Recipe Box.
“One of the items we’re particularly proud of is our Giant Pig in Blanket, which is new and exclusive for 2018.
“This bad boy has been developed by our in-house Michelin-star trained development chef using a fantastic blend of fresh sausage meat, herbs and streaky, salty bacon, and is every meat eater’s dream.”
Beale explained the importance of traceability in produce. “We’ve spent the entire year working with specially selected suppliers to make sure this Christmas range is our best yet. Knowing our farmers is important to ensure we secure the very best for our customers – I can even tell you the name of our turkey farmer’s pets.
“We know that Christmas is such a busy time of year so rather than battling through crowds at your local supermarket, you’ll be able to choose from our hand-picked, award-winning, luxury range and have it delivered straight to your door.”
MuscleFood recently unveiled a rebrand of its entire range in an effort to attract a wider audience.
