Our first sprinkle showcases a burst of seasonal delight, with a simple but elegant combination of dried cranberries, crushed walnuts, and fresh thyme leaves.
While our second sprinkle highlights a vibrant medley of clementine and lime zest, crushed cashews, and a touch of chili pepper flakes. A gentle drizzle of honey crowns this blend.

I can’t wait till make this. how long can you keep the sprinkles. are they best kept in the fridge. thank you 😊
Hi Julie,
Since there are fresh/perishable components (like fresh herbs and zest), it’s best to keep the sprinkles in the fridge and use them within 4 days to maintain freshness. Always store them in an airtight container to preserve their flavour and texture.
Hope that helps and please let us know how you enjoyed them!

Thank you Shanley!
So glad you enjoyed them—happy to hear they’ll be part of your cheese board repertoire!
We with you and your a very Happy New Year!
