From Farm to Hamper: The Journey of Melted's Gourmet Ingredients

Discover the Taste of Gifting That Cares

At Melted, we believe that every gift should be a sensorial experience- beautiful to look at, heartfelt in meaning, and unforgettable in taste. That’s why our gourmet section isn’t just a category, it’s a celebration of India’s culinary heritage, local ingredients, and artisanal food craftsmanship.

This blog is a deep dive into the journey of our gourmet products, from the farms and kitchens they originate in to the luxurious hampers they complete.

Sourced Sustainably, Curated Soulfully

Our gourmet offerings bring together the richness of Indian ingredients with the finesse of small-batch artistry. We partner directly with local farmers, food artisans, and boutique kitchens to ensure that every bite is authentic, fresh, and made with care.

1. Artisanal Cookies: Handcrafted Crunch, Farm-Fresh Ingredients

Our cookies are baked in small artisan kitchens using fresh, chemical-free ingredients such as A2 ghee, jaggery, multigrain flours, and ethically sourced cocoa. These aren’t your average mass-produced snacks, they’re crafted with intention to offer indulgence without compromise.

Example: Our buttery almond cookies and spiced ginger snaps are customer favourites, often included in festive and wellness hampers.

2. Flavoured Nuts: Protein-Packed, Planet-Friendly

We work with nut roasters who use heritage recipes and gentle roasting techniques. From honey-glazed almonds to peri-peri cashews, these snacks are perfect for gifting—and guilt-free nibbling.

Sourcing Highlight: Our nuts are procured from certified organic farms in Maharashtra and processed without artificial additives or preservatives.

3. Spiced Teas: Brewed with Purpose

Our tea blends combine the finest Assam and Darjeeling leaves with hand-picked spices like cardamom, cinnamon, clove, and lemongrass. Every tea pouch supports local tea gardens that follow ethical labor and sustainable cultivation practices.

Flavour Note: From Masala Chai to Chamomile Mint, every brew in our hamper is designed to soothe, energize, or uplift.

4. Small-Batch Chocolates: Sweet Stories of Craftsmanship

We collaborate with bean-to-bar chocolate makers who use ethically traded cacao from Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The result? Decadent treats that are rich in flavour and free from emulsifiers or artificial flavourings.

Customer Favourite: Our sea salt dark chocolate bark is a bestseller during Diwali and Christmas gifting seasons.

5. Indian Superfoods: Rediscovering Roots

We incorporate ancient Indian superfoods like amaranth, ragi, turmeric, and moringa into modern gourmet formats- energy bites, trail mixes, and bars. These functional foods pack both nutrition and nostalgia.

Why Our Gourmet Gifts Stand Out

Each gourmet product in our gift hampers is selected not just for its taste, but for the story it tells:

• It’s made by real people, not factories.

• It honours India’s agricultural traditions.

• It uses clean-label, natural ingredients.

From thoughtfully blended teas to nostalgic homemade snacks, our gourmet boxes are a symphony of flavors designed to delight the senses and support conscious consumption.
