Gourmet Food Corporate Gifts

Your clients and others on your company gift list will talk about your gift all year, when it’s as special as any of the ones we’ve chosen here. Categories include:

• Cakes
• Cookies
• Chocolates & Pralines
• Foods

You can click through to the manufacturer’s website to order them directly. Items are presented in alphabetical order.  Shipping and any applicable taxes are additional.

Please note: It’s difficult to provide prices for a percentage of corporate gifts, as customization and quantity can significantly impact prices. When we do supply prices, they are subject to change. While we do our best to keep this information updated, it’s a huge task. If you find updated information before we do, please click here to give us the 411.

Cake

Elegant Cheesecakes can turn your company product or image into magnificent cheesecakes and butter cakes ($95 and up). Everything you see is 100% edible—even the bow. It’s not a box of candy or a box of cigars—it’s a cake with a decorated chocolate fondant covering. Read our review of Elegant Cheesecakes, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.

We’ve had many a pecan pie, and for our money, this pecan pie in a jar from The Great San Saba River Pecan Company is one of the best (22 ounce jar makes 1-2 pies, $6.95—call 1.800.621.8121, the website is under construction). Read our review.

Cookies

Eleni’s Cookies does corporate logo cookies the traditional way, or mixed in with her clever theme and seasonal designs (sets in gift tins, $58.50). Read our review of Eleni’s, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.

Rolling Pin Productions enjoys turning business concepts into edible art (prices vary based on complexity of design and quantity).

Chocolates

• Chocolove’s Chocolador holds 8 premium chocolate bars in a real mahogany plywood cigar box ($23 without company personalization; contact for custom pricing). Read our review of Chocolove.

A genuine imported cigar box...	containing eight premium bars...	3.2 ounces each, for a total of 1.6 pounds of chocolate

Recchiuti Confections will put your company or product logo in chocolates of the highest quality, impressive to the fussiest connoisseur, with a choice of truffle fillings like Recchiuti’s signature Burnt Caramel (a NIBBLE Editors’ favorite); Force Noir (silky 70% extra-bitter chocolate ganache infused with whole vanilla bean); or Columbian, Ecuadorian, and Venezuelan varietals.

Cowgirl Creamery makes one of our favorite cheeses of all time, and will create custom-tailored gift boxes of artisanal and farmstead cheeses to share the wealth with those on your guest list (selections available at a wide range of price points). Click here for our review.

Tsar Nicoulai Caviar helps you save the endangered Beluga, Osetra, and Sevruga salmon. If you want to give caviar, give their cousin, the American paddlefish sturgeon, or colorful and tasty whitefish caviar—regular plus infused with wasabi, ginger, saffron, and truffle flavors. For $250, you can give a hefty six ounces of each, plus a stack of blinis and crème fraîche.  For much $25, you can still give a lovely gift.  Click here for our review.
