Situated at the top end of Pershore High Street is Quintessence, a delicatessen shop that stocks wine, ciders, chocolates, hampers to order and fantastic sandwiches, proper baguettes and home made cakes. The olives are to die for, the cheeses are the best I've tasted, and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to assist. The organic meats melt in the mouth!
