A tribute to the Portuguese table and the pleasure of sharing genuine flavors during the holidays.

The Flavors That Bring Christmas to Life
This pack brings together three artisanal Portuguese creations that balance sweetness, freshness, and a light touch of spice. Made with ingredients of national origin and free from artificial colorings or additives, these flavors naturally and elegantly complement smoked meats and cured ham, making every festive table even more special.
Azores Pineapple Extra Jam with Lemongrass
Made with pineapple grown in greenhouses in the Azores, this jam reveals a tropical and aromatic profile. The lemongrass adds a citrusy and refreshing note that balances the natural sweetness of the fruit, creating a vibrant and elegant flavor. The result is a fusion of freshness and intensity, ideal for enhancing the salty and smoky notes of cured ham.
Perfect to pair with Barrancos Ham (PDO) or Vinhais Ham (PGI), this jam can also be used as a base for toast with ham and aged cheese, or tapas with arugula and walnuts. An unexpected touch that transforms any Christmas board into a moment of authentic sharing.
Rocha Pear and Redcurrant Jam with Melissa and Pink Pepper
The soft sweetness of Rocha Pear from the Oeste region combines with the ruby acidity of redcurrants, creating a delicate and aromatic balance. The Melissa (lemon balm) introduces a fresh herbal note, while the pink pepper adds a gentle spiciness that lingers and awakens the palate. An elegant combination that enhances the flavor of more intense and long-aged hams.
Ideal to pair with Alentejo Ham (PDO) or Ibérico Ham, it’s also an excellent option for creating contrasts in ham carpaccios or pairing with smoked sausages. During Christmas, it adds sophistication and color to the table, evoking the harmony between Portugal’s countryside and the refinement of Iberian flavors.
Red Pepper Chutney
With the natural flavor of red pepper slowly cooked with vinegar and spices, this chutney offers a perfect sweet-and-sour contrast for cured meats and sausages. Its smooth aroma and velvety texture balance the fat of the ham and enhance smoky flavors, creating an irresistible combination.
It’s ideal for serving with Serrano Ham or Campo Maior and Elvas Ham (PGI). Try it as a base for bruschettas or as a side for roasted sausages — a delicious way to bring warmth and intensity to Christmas flavors.
Pairing with Cured Ham and Smoked Meats
Together, these flavors create the perfect base for composing an authentic, balanced, and original charcuterie board. The combination of meia.dúzia® flavors with PDO and PGI hams and sausages — such as Barrancos Ham, Vinhais Bísaro Ham, Alentejo Ham, Ibérico Ham, or Serrano Ham — results in an Iberian tasting experience of excellence that blends tradition, innovation, and sophistication.
For your board, we suggest choosing 2 to 3 varieties of ham or sausage, finely sliced to highlight their flavor and texture, accompanied by rye bread, cornbread, or artisanal toasts. Complete with olives, nuts, and fresh grapes in summer, or dried figs and walnuts in winter. Pair with a full-bodied red wine, a Portuguese fortified wine, or even a Spanish cava to elevate the experience and enhance the contrasts.
