Made in England | The Coronation Collection

 

We've always travelled far and wide in search of delicious things to eat and drink: but we're always delighted to find something extraordinary a little closer to home.

 

To mark the happy and glorious Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III & Queen Camilla, we sought out some of England's most inventive and exceptional food and drink producers – and the elegant creations below are the fruits (literally so, in some cases) of our labours.

 

From a celebration-ready bottle of bubbly, to sweet treats and an iconic savoury favourite, discover a selection of the English-made and marvellous creations in our exclusive Coronation Collection.

 

 

 

 

Our Potted Organic Blue Stilton

~

 

Known as the ‘King of Cheeses’, this Nottinghamshire Stilton is creamy and sweet with a heavily veined texture and characteristically full flavour. A limited edition of 2,500 keepsake jars, which replicate a design we first produced for Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation in 1953, this exceptional cheese is a delicious celebration of traditional British cheesemaking.

 

As the pot itself so proudly declares, this is a 'rich, royal and roundly delicious' treat indeed.

 

 

 

 

Our English Sparkling Blanc de Blancs

~

 

Patiently-crafted with perfectly ripe Chardonnay fruit from a single vineyard at New House Farm in East Sussex, this crisp, elegant and gently floral Blanc de Blancs is the work of Sam Lindo – the second generation of the Lindo family to produce award-winning wines for our fellow Royal Warrant holders, Camel Valley.

 

A truly sparkling English wine in more ways than one: did you spot the elegant crown, created especially for Fortnum's by acclaimed calligrapher and heraldic artist, Timothy Noad, on the neck of the bottle?

 

 

 

 

Our Rose Petal Sweets

~

 

From the handmade tin to the gently floral treats themselves, our Rose Sweets are a celebration of traditional craftsmanship, and of the enduring beauty of a Great British summer. Lovingly crafted, one piece at a time, at an historic family business in Sheffield, the pewter tin is a keepsake-in-waiting, made to be filled and refilled for decades to come.

 

But the sweetest joy lies in each of the petal-jewelled treats themselves. Made in Wales by a fifth-generation family of sweetmakers to a recipe dating back to the 1920s, each all-natural sweet is delicate and delicious, and the flavour blooms slowly: but like many of the most wonderful things in life, it's absolutely worth waiting for.

 

 

 

 

Our English Berries Preserve

~

 

Sweetly tart and equally extraordinary on morning toast or teatime scones (or if you’re feeling adventurous, as the filling in a Victoria Sponge), this organic preserve is traditionally handmade in Oxfordshire with English-grown strawberries, redcurrants and cherries, and sugar cane from across the Commonwealth.

 

A very berried jar indeed, it's also home to a beautiful butterfly, created especially for our Coronation Collection by fine artist, Lucy Morrish.
