There are also a number of take-home charcuterie products to snap up, including award-winning producer Barossa Fine Food’s’ charcuterie sample packs, and Cleo’s Deli’s tempting range of Joselito ham and Batialle jason gran reserva. Damian Pike’s truffle eggs and truffle butter are back for another year, while Naheda’s Choice’s special Parmigiano and truffle pesto dip is set to amaze!
