A Christmas Gift with Classic Flavors of Portugal

The Travel Kit – Christmas Special Edition No. 1 by meia.dúzia® is a tribute to the most emblematic flavors of Portuguese gastronomy. Six artisanal creations in tubes — jams, chocolate spreads, chutney, and olive paste — form a collection that unites authenticity, tradition, and creativity. It’s a gift that celebrates the true spirit of a Portuguese Christmas: the joy of sharing flavors made with soul and local, high-quality ingredients.

Each recipe is handcrafted with PDO and PGI fruits, spices, and Portuguese ingredients. The elegant and festive box design turns this selection into the perfect keepsake to offer to family, friends, or partners, representing what Portugal has most genuine and flavorful.

Tradition and Innovation in Every Flavor

The iconic meia.dúzia® tubes are a symbol of Portuguese innovation — practical, sustainable, and hygienic, they preserve the freshness and natural taste of each ingredient. Produced in small batches and free from additives, the jams, chocolate spreads, chutneys, and pastes keep alive the legacy of traditional Portuguese confectionery and cuisine, reinterpreted with a modern and sophisticated touch.

In this special edition, each flavor tells a story: from the apples of Beira Alta to the oranges of the Algarve, from the figs of Trás-os-Montes to the cocoa of São Tomé and the olives of the Douro Valley. A sensory journey that reflects the pride and diversity of Portuguese flavors.

The Flavors of a Portuguese Christmas

Six tubes, six distinct experiences — fruity and aromatic jams, rich and creamy chocolates, smoky chutney, and flavorful olive paste. A set that reflects the richness of Portuguese gastronomy and the perfect harmony between tradition and modernity.

Bravo de Esmolfe Apple Extra Jam with Cinnamon

The Bravo de Esmolfe Apple (PDO), grown in the Beira Alta region, is one of Portugal’s most cherished fruits, known for its intense aroma, juicy pulp, and perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. When combined with cinnamon — a spice deeply rooted in Portuguese confectionery history — it creates a fragrant, delicate, and comforting jam, ideal for the cozy Christmas season.

Perfect for spreading on fresh bread, toast, croissants, or biscuits, this jam also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses such as Serpa DOP or Grana Padano DOP. Each spoonful reveals the harmony between the fruity apple notes and the warm aroma of cinnamon — a combination that represents the best of Portuguese tradition.

Fig and Orange Extra Jam with Cinnamon

Honey figs from Trás-os-Montes and Algarve oranges unite in a jam of intense flavor and rich texture, delicately spiced with cinnamon. The result is a balanced blend of sweetness, citrus brightness, and spice — evoking the warmth of Portuguese kitchens during wintertime.

Excellent with aged cheeses such as Serra da Estrela DOP or Brie, this jam is also irresistible with foie gras, nut tarts, and desserts made with fresh cheese. A handcrafted creation that captures generations of Portuguese know-how and taste.

São Tomé Dark Chocolate Spread with Orange (from the Algarve)

Intense dark chocolate from São Tomé (70% cocoa) meets Algarve orange in a vibrant and elegant fusion. The deep cocoa and bright citrus notes create a sophisticated, aromatic, and irresistibly Portuguese spread. It’s a timeless combination — a symbol of refinement and passion for flavor.

Perfect for spreading on artisanal bread, croissants, or biscuits, this spread can also be used as a filling for cakes and festive desserts. The union of chocolate and orange brings both freshness and warmth to the winter table.

São Tomé Dark Chocolate Spread with Blueberry and Liqueur Wine

A combination of intensity and elegance: São Tomé dark chocolate blends with Portuguese blueberries and fortified wine (Port), creating a sophisticated and enveloping flavor profile. The fruity and wine-like notes balance the depth of the cocoa, resulting in a velvety aroma and unforgettable taste.

Ideal for filling cakes, cheesecakes, or tarts, and delicious on pancakes or waffles, this spread embodies the Portuguese Christmas spirit — indulgent, rich, and memorable.

Red Pepper Chutney

Made with red peppers from Póvoa de Varzim, this chutney combines the sweetness of the peppers with the acidity of vinegar and a touch of ginger and lemon. The result is a sweet-and-sour, fresh, and slightly smoky condiment that adds originality to both traditional and modern dishes.

Perfect for pairing with roasted meats, poultry, cheeses, or cured meats, it’s also excellent on appetizer boards and vegetarian dishes. A versatile and genuinely Portuguese flavor that elevates any meal.

Negrinha do Douro Olive Paste

Made with Negrinha do Douro Olives (PDO), this creamy paste reflects the unique character of the Douro Valley olive groves. Its rich, balanced flavor is enhanced with spices and extra virgin olive oil, creating a smooth texture and an unmistakable tasting experience.

Ideal with rustic bread, crackers, cheese boards, or cold meats, it’s also perfect for vegetarian dishes, pasta, and salads. A creation that embodies the authenticity and elegance of Portuguese cuisine.

The Box: Festive Design and Portuguese Elegance

The Travel Kit – Christmas Special Edition No. 1 comes in a box decorated with holiday motifs inspired by Portuguese nature — pine trees, red berries, and green leaves that evoke the warmth and joy of the season. The design celebrates the balance between tradition and modernity, reflecting the spirit of meia.dúzia®: aesthetic, authenticity, and innovation.

More than just packaging, it’s a design piece that highlights Portuguese culture and sustainability. Ideal for gifting, it transforms the act of giving into a gesture of taste and affection — a true symbol of Christmas sharing.
