The Best of Exmoor

Travel & Vacations · Hotels & Resorts

The Best of Exmoor is an online-only delicatessen and gift boutique that ships chilled, ambient and hampers nationwide. Core lines are small-batch cheeses, cured meats, farmhouse chutneys, craft spirits, artisan chocolates and ready-to-send luxury hampers priced £6–£120; most sit in the £12–£40 mid-range. Orders are packed in Woolcool insulated boxes and dispatched next-day from their Porlock base. The retailer only stocks products made or foraged within the Exmoor National Park boundary, giving it a hyper-local 100-mile sourcing rule no national grocer can match. Flagship lines include Exmoor Blue, heather honey, wild-fermented ciders and the “Exmoor Taste” hamper that won a Great Taste Award in 2022. Every supplier page on the site lists the exact farm or kitchen postcode, turning provenance into the main selling point. Customers are 30-65-year-old UK food enthusiasts planning self-catering stays, sending West Country gifts or restocking pantries after visiting the moor. They value traceability, landscape conservation and the convenience of next-day courier delivery to urban doors. Repeat buyers often join the “Exmoor Taster” subscription that releases seasonal boxes tied to agricultural shows and hunting seasons. They compete with regional farm-shop e-commerce sites and premium supermarket “local” ranges, differentiating through stricter geographic sourcing, chilled courier capability and unified Exmoor branding. While competitors aggregate from several counties, The Best of Exmoor’s single-national-park range and award-winning hampers position it as the definitive edible souvenir of the moor.
