Fed Up Of Eggs? Try Belle’s Easter Alternatives!
It’s hard to imagine ever being bored of chocolate, but apparently there are such people in the world. And if you happen to know one of these strange creatures, treating them at Easter can be a challenge.
But there are a few original alternatives out there for anyone determined to dodge the traditional eggs this weekend.
First up, how about a cheese bouquet? Norseland have re-launched the world’s first bouquet made out of cheese and biscuits, which now consists of 10 mini Jarlsberg cheeses, five packs of Peter’s Yard biscuits and the new edition of handmade straw chicks, was sculpted by Oxfordshire florist Twigs & Twine, and has an RRP of £30.
Lisa Harrison, Senior Brand Manager at Norseland explained why cheese is such a popular alternative to chocs: “We were inundated with orders for Mother’s Day but also saw lots of customers asking for an Easter version. Working with Gail from Twigs & Twine, we decided to give it a twist with some beautiful chicks. This is definitely a great alternative to a chocolate egg for all cheese lovers out there.”
This comes months after Norseland worked with food blogger Annem Hobson from So Wrong It’s Nom to create the world’s first Cheese Advent Calendar, which caused frenzy worldwide.
