artisan foods
Craftsman-made edibles
Artisan foods are made by traditional methods, typically in small batches with careful attention to ingredients and craft.
The term distinguishes handmade or specialty products from mass-produced alternatives: artisan bread, artisan cheese, artisan chocolate.
Marketing has stretched the label thin—"artisan" now appears on factory-made products, diluting its original suggestion of skilled human hands.
