The Flavors of a Portuguese Christmas
Each jam in the Travel Kit represents a part of the Portuguese territory and a chapter of its confectionery tradition. Made in small batches with locally sourced fruits harvested at peak ripeness, they preserve their genuine flavor and artisanal texture. The slightly salted and crispy crackers are the perfect complement, balancing sweet and savory in every bite.
From Azorean pineapple to Madeira wine, from figs and oranges to apples from the interior, this collection brings a portrait of Portuguese flavors to the table. A gift made to share — ideal to pair with cheeses, desserts, or to create special moments around the Christmas table.
Azores Pineapple Extra Jam with Lemongrass
With the tropical touch of Azores Pineapple (PDO) and the citrus fragrance of lemongrass, this jam is a refreshing and aromatic fusion. Made from fruit grown in traditional greenhouses on São Miguel Island, it captures the authenticity and charm of the Atlantic islands. Its light texture and exotic flavor bring brightness and freshness to the Christmas table.
Delicious with fresh cheese, natural yogurt, or fruit-based desserts, it also pairs wonderfully with Ondina Mar Crackers, creating the perfect contrast between crunch and softness. A flavor that transforms any snack or festive breakfast into a special moment.
Bravo de Esmolfe Apple Extra Jam with Cinnamon
Made with Bravo de Esmolfe Apple (PDO), one of Portugal’s most emblematic varieties, this jam combines the delicate aroma of apple with the warmth of cinnamon. It evokes the Beira Alta winter and the oven-baked aromas of Portuguese kitchens, bringing comfort and tradition to the table.
Perfect for spreading on rustic bread, pairing with apple tarts, or serving with aged cheeses. During the holidays, it pairs beautifully with French toast, “sonhos” (fried dough), or homemade cakes — a delightful blend of fruit and spice.
Fig and Orange Extra Jam with Cinnamon
A meeting between Honey Drop Figs from Trás-os-Montes and Algarve Oranges (PGI), with an aromatic touch of cinnamon. The result is a rich, dense, and deeply Portuguese jam that blends the sweetness of the countryside with the freshness of the south.
Perfect to pair with soft cheeses, multigrain bread, or convent-style desserts. It also pairs wonderfully with Diplomata Crackers, creating a balanced and sophisticated tasting experience — ideal for Christmas dinners and festive brunches.
Orange Extra Jam with Madeira Wine
A combination of Algarve oranges and Malvasia Madeira Wine that embodies the refinement of Portuguese tradition. The fruit’s acidity merges with the wine’s mellow, honeyed notes, resulting in an elegant, citrusy, and enveloping flavor — perfect for Christmas celebrations.
Delicious with cakes, pancakes, cheesecakes, or fresh cheese, this jam also shines as a topping for French toast or orange puddings. A flavor that unites the warmth of the Algarve with the sophistication of the Atlantic islands.
Strawberry Extra Jam with Mint
Light, aromatic, and refreshing, this jam combines ripe Portuguese strawberries with the herbal and fragrant touch of mint. The contrast between the fruit’s sweetness and the herb’s freshness creates a vibrant and balanced experience, perfect for those who enjoy delicate flavors.
Ideal for pairing with cookies, pancakes, yogurt, or Ondina Mar Crackers, it’s also an excellent choice for lighter desserts after festive meals. A flavor that adds color and freshness to Christmas traditions.
Blueberry Extra Jam with Melissa
Made with blueberries from the Minho region and aromatic melissa leaves, this jam reflects the perfect balance between intensity and freshness. The blueberries add color and depth, while the melissa brings a subtle citrus fragrance that lingers on the palate.
Perfectly pairs with soft cheeses, homemade cakes, and fruit-based desserts. When served with crackers, it becomes a modern and elegant experience — ideal for sharing at the Christmas table.
Diplomata Ondina Mar Crackers
The Diplomata Ondina Mar Crackers are slightly salted, thin, and crispy, made with simple, natural ingredients. Their delicate texture and balanced flavor make them the perfect complement to meia.dúzia®’s artisanal jams. They are vegan and made without additives, preserving the authentic taste and tradition of Portuguese recipes.
Versatile and delicious, they can be served as appetizers, with cheeses, or as a base for sweet and savory tastings. Combined with the jams, they create a harmony that embodies the true spirit of the Portuguese table — generous, welcoming, and full of flavor.
