Cotswold Fayre unveils Christmas catalogue

Cotswold Fayre unveils Christmas catalogue

Fine food distributor Cotswold Fayre has unveiled its new Christmas catalogue, bringing a wealth of traditional favourites alongside some exciting new gifting products.

The catalogue lists 1340 product lines, 65 of which are from certified B Corps, to help retailers plan early for 2022’s festive period


“This year we have focused on providing retailers with some exciting alternatives to the traditional advent calendars and gift sets,” Alissia Festa, seasonal buyer at Cotswold Fayre, said.

“Love Corn have introduced a Milk Chocolate & Sea Salt Gift Jar and Lucy’s Dressings are now available in a Gift Box.”

Last year Cotswold Fayre saw an increase in festive alcoholic products, in particular its Christmas-themed gins. The novelty of eye-catching bottles and different flavours created a popular gift category.

“After the popularity of our alcoholic products last year, we have added more lines to our 2022 catalogue such as, Winter Secco, a lightly spiced sparkling wine, Finders Christmas Pudding Rum and The Reverend Hubert’s Winter Gin Liqueur,” Festa continued.

“It is also important to us to offer variety and cater for those who prefer to enjoy non-alcoholic options, such as Everleaf, a non-alcoholic aperitif brand which uses sustainably sourced botanicals for its drinks.”

With the growth and innovation from its suppliers, Cotswold Fayre is devoted to ensuring that their brands are sustainable and ethically sourced.

“The launch of Cajuu, an ethically sourced nut brand which uses 100% plastic free packaging is the perfect sustainable addition to the buffet table this Christmas,” Festa said.

The Cotswold Fayre Christmas 2022 Catalogue can be viewed here.
