A Tribute to Grandad – A Father Twice Over

They say that grandfathers are fathers twice, and for many, this sentiment resonates deeply. Grandad, with his wisdom, experience, and unconditional love, plays an irreplaceable role in shaping and strengthening family bonds. By gifting your grandad this box, you are offering a gesture of affection and gratitude that goes beyond material value, appreciating the dedication and legacy he passes down through generations.

This box is much more than just a collection of products – it is a heartfelt tribute to the paternal figure, where every flavour and texture tells a story. It acknowledges that, beyond being a guardian of traditions, Grandad is also an endless source of love and inspiration, deserving of something as unique and special as he is.

Pumpkin, Orange, Rosemary Honey, Eucalyptus, Cinnamon, and Almond Jam – 75g

The first highlight of this box is the Pumpkin, Orange, Rosemary Honey, Eucalyptus, Cinnamon, and Almond Jam, a true classic of Portuguese confectionery. One of the most traditional and beloved jams, it reflects the artisanal expertise passed down through generations, taking us back to the cherished recipes of our grandparents.

The delicate combination of pumpkin, known for its high beta-carotene content and vibrant orange hue, with the citrus freshness of orange, creates a sweet and tangy base that awakens the senses. The addition of rosemary honey and eucalyptus honey – both with intense aromas and rich, open flavours – adds an aromatic depth that elevates the jam to an exceptional level of sophistication. Enhanced by cinnamon and almonds, this jam offers a complex balance of warming spices and citrusy, earthy notes, evoking nostalgic memories of lovingly prepared homemade treats.

Made entirely by hand, this jam is produced in small batches (never exceeding 40kg) and contains more than 55% fruit, with no added additives or preservatives, ensuring the preservation of its natural qualities. Perfect for spreading on toast, crackers, crepes, waffles, or as a topping for desserts, it also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses such as Serra da Estrela (PDO), Azeitão (PDO), or Beira Baixa Cottage Cheese (PDO), turning every meal into a ritual of sharing and celebrating Portuguese traditions.

Negrinha do Douro Olive Pâté – 65g

The second gem of this box is the Negrinha do Douro Olive Pâté, a product that has been internationally recognised, earning 2 stars at the ITQI Awards 2017, where it was blind-tested by over 125 chefs and sommeliers.

This pâté is made from the "Negrinha do Douro" olive, a PDO-certified variety grown in the steep terraced groves of the Douro Valley. In this region, the hot, dry climate and schist-rich soil combine to produce olives of exceptional quality.

Preserved exclusively in extra virgin olive oil, this pâté boasts a naturally deep black-violet colour, a creamy texture, and small flecks of spices that intensify its characteristic aroma. Its bold fragrance and smooth consistency make it the perfect accompaniment to multigrain bread, cornbread, rye bread, or even vegan crackers. It can also be used as a base for appetisers or incorporated into game meat dishes, gourmet salads – such as couscous salad, Greek salad, or vegetarian salads – and pasta dishes, enriching them with its intense and authentic flavour.

This pâté is ideal for those who appreciate genuine flavours, valuing the artisanal process and the Portuguese olive-growing tradition, offering a uniquely rich tasting experience that transforms every meal into a celebration of Douro’s cultural heritage.

Ondina Mar Savoury Crackers – 125g

Completing this experience, the box includes Ondina Mar Savoury Crackers, a vegan and lactose-free snack that is simply irresistible. Made from a combination of wheat flour, Aveiro sea salt, vegetable margarine, and water, these crackers prove that simplicity can be elevated to an art form. With only 7.5g of fat per 100g and no added sugar, yeast, colourings, or preservatives, they are a healthy and delicious option.

Their delicate wave-like shape provides a fine and crispy texture that perfectly complements the other products in the box. Whether enjoyed on their own or used as a base for sophisticated appetisers, these crackers elevate any meal to a new level of quality and originality, allowing for creative combinations with the olive pâté or the artisanal jam.
