Why send a gift from Sous Chef?

We only stock what we love - so you will love it too. Every single product we sell has been tasted or tested by our team of flavour fanatics - if it doesn't taste great, or if it isn't a great example of its type, then we don't list it. Only 1 in 10 make it.

You'll discover something you haven't tried before. A small family producer in Italy may make the most vibrant, expressive olive oil, but their expertise is olive oil making and not marketing. You may never hear about them. We're here to change that.

We only buy direct from trusted producers. Every aspect of our suppliers' storage, production and distribution is checked by us. Many are rejected if they don't meet our quality standards. So that you know you'll always receive safe, high quality food. We do not allow third party resellers on the website.

Gift card included with your order During checkout, just check "Add free gift note", to add your custom message for the recipient. So you know that when they squeal with delight that they've received the ideal gift, they'll know to give you a special thank you call!
