Throwing a Christmas party ? Well I believe that a board with cured meat and crunchy pickles is going to be a success among other offering. Opies Cocktail Gherkins and Opies Cocktail Onions are crunchy and delicious and certainly they will add a splash of colour to any serving tray.

These Opies Cocktail Cherries are preserved in a Maraschino infused  syrup. Adding one Cherry to a glass of Prosecco will give that festive look as well as a particular taste where the dryness of the Prosecco meets the sweetness of the Cherry.

Opies Stem Ginger in Syrup is the secret ingredient to be add to a Christmas cake or a batch of Mince Pies. Just chop some of the stems and add them to a fruit mix or a chutney for a particular flavour that will make everyone trying to guess what ingredients have been used for that particular dish.

Opies Pickled Walnuts are an iconic  product for Opies. These walnuts are picked when the hull is  still  green and the shell isn't formed , then they are cooked and at the end marinated in a traditional spiced malt vinegar. They are great served with cheese and meat and really define the festive season. In UK Opies Pickled Walnut is Christmas.

Opies Christmas Fruit in Courvoisier are a decadent and delicious treat where figs, dates, cranberry and apricots are preserved in a spiced syrup and Courvoisier cognac. They can be used in many ways, like on top of a Panettone slice or as a filling for a Crepe Suzette or just  eaten from the jar for a moment of pure indulgence.
