Portuguese gastronomy for a gourmet Christmas gift

Portugal is above all a family gastronomy. Whether you want to please a Portuguese friend or simply offer a little originality to a gourmet, Portuguese gastronomy is an ideal choice.

Through a gift box with Portuguese flavors, a book of recipes of the country's traditional cuisine or a pastry kit to make your own Pastéis de Nata, bring Portugal to your loved ones' plates to the delight of fine gourmets.

But the flavors of Portugal do not stop at Pastéis de Nata and olive oil. Oranges from the Algarve, apples from Alcobaça and fennel from Madeira are also typical Portuguese smells that take us on a journey.

For Christmas, our Tea discovery box from Portugal are a perfect gift idea for all lovers of hot drinks. Coffee is also an integral part of the Portuguese culture. Give a Portuguese person the opportunity to replicate the typical aromas of Lisbon's "Bicas" or Porto's "Cimbalinos" 

Give a trendy gift from Portuguese textile crafts

Do you need to give a Christmas gift to someone who takes care of herself and likes to be trendy? Portuguese craftsmanship is full of unique and authentic treasures.

Choose from a selection of Reed or leather bags and purses made in Portugal. Leather goods and textile work are Portuguese know-how recognized in Europe. A leather belt, a trendy hat or a cap made of mottled wool typical of Portugal will be very nice Portuguese Christmas gifts and will appeal to young and old alike and to men and women.

Portuguese jewelry: an authentic and sophisticated Christmas gift

For even more refinement and elegance, consider Portuguese jewelry. The filigree technique is an ancient Portuguese tradition.

These jewelry pieces are made in the north of Portugal, in Gondomar and Braga, in the region of Pôvoa de Lenhoso. A silver or silver-gold pendant representing the Coração de Viana, a true feminine symbol of Portugal, will surely surprise the person who receives this beautiful gift. Earrings, bracelets, rings or brooches are all great Christmas gift ideas to give to a mother, grandmother, sister or partner.

If you are looking to place at the foot of the Christmas tree a small, less formal gift, a costume jewel for example, will seduce his or her recipient for sure!
