Cruets: A Gourmet Gift in Elegance
Some gifts that never go out of style are elegant drinks such as wines and exotic condiments. They never fail to please the recipient.
Usually, wines and condiments intended for gourmet gifts are placed in elaborate baskets. But for a really unique gourmet gift, why not place them in cruets?
This is a brand new gourmet gift idea that came from Cruets. The company regards their products as truly revolutionary.
Each hand-blown cruet has two separate glass compartments in it. The outer compartment is for holding olive oil and the inner one is for balsamic vinegar. They are originally designed for the two condiments but any condiment can be placed inside these cruets.
Because they are hand-blown, the cruets are truly beautiful and functional. This gourmet gift will surely be an interesting, tasteful and elegant feature on the dining table.
The company's cruets are made up of SIMAX glass. This is the equivalent of Europe's Pyrex glass. This kind of glass is durable and designed to withstand enormous amounts of heat. Therefore, their cruets also boast of durability.
One of their most popular products is their grape cruet. Its design reminds the owner of a vineyard harvest. The inner grape-shaped container is encased in an elegantly designed glass dome container. It has two separate sprouts, one for the inner container and one for the outer. It is perfect as a gourmet gift for birthdays to a housewarming party.
Other variations include tomato, onion, garlic clove and bell cruet. They are named for the designs of their inner containers, just like the grape cruet.
Another popular product which can be used as a gourmet gift would be their 5 piece Bohemian Cut Crystal cruets. These are the epitome of elegance.
Unlike the grape cruet which is made of glass, this product is made out of the finest quality cut lead crystal. The 24% crystal cruets are hand made by master craftsmen in the Czech Republic. Due to the dainty nature and the elegance of these crystal cruets, they are considered to be of heirloom quality. These are perfect for wedding or anniversary gifts.
When purchased, this item comes with a two beautiful 6 inch crystal carafe that can hold 5.75 ounces of liquid, a crystal tray that is similar to Waterford and Swarovski crystals and two hand cut glass stoppers.
Truly, cruets are very charming and can add character and magic to any dining table or shelf.
