1 BOX OF RUSTIC BAKERY TART CHERRY, CACAO NIBS, ALMOND CRISPS 170g
These slender, twice-baked crisps are a mosaic of jewel-toned fruit and toasted nuts, suspended in a delicately sweet, caramelized crumb.

The fruit’s natural acidity cuts cleanly through the gentle sweetness of the base, keeping the palate alert and refreshed.
1 JAR OF JOLCA OLIVES COCKTAIL 675g
