The Art of Caramel: Caramel Spread Market with Crwst

Since 1707, Fortnum & Mason has championed the exceptional work and time-honoured making methods of talented artisans around the world.Earlier this year, we added a new chapter to that storied history, by launching a search for the UK & Ireland’s very best new and undiscovered food and drink producers.

And now, after an impossibly competitive and very delicious judging process, we’re delighted to introduce the winners of our first Open Call – each of which will soon be found on the shelves at Fortnum's.

About Crwst:

We’re proud to collaborate with one of our Fortnum & Makers, Crwst – a Welsh artisan bakery and café based in the heart of Cardigan, West Wales. Founded by Catrin and Osian Wyn Jones, Crwst is celebrated for its handcrafted products, community spirit, and deep-rooted connection to Welsh culture.

Their premium caramel spreads are made entirely in-house, using locally sourced ingredients such as Welsh honey, cream, butter, and Halen Môn sea salt. Each batch is crafted from scratch by their talented team of production chefs, and their award-winning caramels are known for their rich flavour and silky-smooth texture.

Combining quality, heritage, and innovation, Crwst proudly embodies the essence of modern Welsh craftsmanship.

About this session:

Get ready for a truly indulgent experience as we host a Caramel Spread Market in celebration of Crwst’s award-winning creations. This is more than just a tasting – it’s a delicious journey into the heart of Welsh craftsmanship, flavour, and innovation.

During the session, you'll have the exclusive opportunity to explore Crwst’s signature caramel spreads, including:
– Welsh Honey Butter – luxuriously smooth with the natural sweetness of local Welsh honey
– Bart Rum Salted Caramel – rich and warming, with notes of spiced rum
– Welsh Sea Salted Caramel – the perfect balance of sweet and salty, made with Halen Môn sea salt

You’ll learn about the inspiration behind each flavour, the traditional techniques used to craft them, and how Crwst’s team transforms the finest local ingredients into their standout products. Discover what sets their caramel apart – from the slow, careful cooking process to the dedication behind every handmade batch.

And of course, there will be plenty of chances to taste! Sample the spreads in decadent dessert form – think gooey brownies, indulgent hot chocolate, and light, buttery madeleines, all made specially for this event using Crwst’s caramels.

Whether you’re a dessert lover, a caramel connoisseur, or simply curious about one of Wales’ rising artisan producers, this is a one-of-a-kind tasting experience you won’t want to miss.
