artisan food
Small-batch culinary goods
Artisan food is produced using traditional methods, often by hand and in small batches, with an emphasis on quality ingredients and craftsmanship rather than mass production.
The term suggests care, skill, and authenticity—an artisan bakery makes bread the old way, not in a factory.
The farmers market featured artisan cheeses and handmade pasta.
Marketing has diluted the term somewhat, with industrial producers sometimes using "artisan" loosely to suggest premium quality.
