More than a design innovation, the tubes represent a new way to rediscover tradition.

They are also a symbol of the perfect balance between past and present, between culinary heritage and Portuguese creativity, making this pack a unique sensory and visual experience.
The Traditional Flavors that Bring Christmas to Life
Each of the three jams in this pack is a tribute to recipes that have crossed generations and continue to be part of Christmas tables from north to south of Portugal. The combination of Portuguese fruits, honey, spices, and fortified wines results in rich, enveloping flavors full of history. These jams are made to be savored slowly, shared, and to recall the true meaning of the Portuguese table — generous, welcoming, and made with love.
The flavors were carefully selected to represent the diversity and richness of Portuguese territory. Sweetness, acidity, aroma, and texture unite in harmony, creating a perfect balance that turns every tasting into a sensory journey. These jams are ideal for pairing with cheeses, desserts, artisanal bread, or for creating special moments around the Christmas table.
Pumpkin and Orange Jam with Rosemary and Eucalyptus Honey, Cinnamon and Almond
The Pumpkin and Orange Jam with Rosemary and Eucalyptus Honey, Cinnamon and Almond is one of the most emblematic flavors of Portuguese tradition. Its ancestral recipe, passed down through generations, combines the smoothness of pumpkin with the freshness of orange and the natural sweetness of rosemary and eucalyptus honey. Cinnamon adds a warm, aromatic note, while almonds from Trás-os-Montes bring texture and a deliciously toasted flavor. The result is a balanced, rich, and comforting fusion that evokes the aromas of festive Portuguese kitchens during Christmas time.
This jam pairs beautifully with cured cheeses such as Queijo Serra da Estrela DOP or Queijo de Azeitão DOP, creating flavor contrasts that enhance both elements. It can also be used as a topping for tarts, crepes, or cakes, or simply spread on artisanal bread or crackers. Its versatility makes it perfect for breakfasts, brunches, and Christmas desserts. More than a jam, it’s an expression of Portuguese culinary heritage and a symbol of sharing and hospitality.
Fundão Cherry Extra Jam with Brandy
The Fundão Cherry Extra Jam with Brandy represents the harmony between the countryside and Portuguese craftsmanship. The cherries from Fundão, with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), are known for their intense color, firm pulp, and balanced flavor — a result of the unique climate and fertile soils of Cova da Beira. To these, Portuguese brandy aged in oak barrels adds warm, aromatic notes, making this jam a sophisticated and captivating creation. It’s a perfect fusion between the freshness of the fruit and the complexity of the spirit, creating a unique and memorable tasting experience.
Perfect to accompany cheeses with distinct flavors such as Queijo da Ilha de São Jorge DOP or Queijo Fresco de Castelo Branco, this jam also stands out in desserts like cheesecakes, ice creams, and pancakes. The touch of brandy gives it a festive profile — ideal for Christmas — where flavor and elegance meet tradition. Each tube is a tribute to Portuguese agriculture and the art of transforming fruit into emotion, making this jam one of the most intense expressions of national identity.
Blueberry Extra Jam with Vanilla and Liqueur Wine
The Blueberry Extra Jam with Vanilla and Liqueur Wine expresses the harmony between nature and the refinement of Portuguese confectionery. Duke-variety blueberries, grown in Portuguese soils, stand out for their balanced sweet-acidic taste and deep blue color that gives them elegance. The delicate sweetness of vanilla and the aromatic richness of fortified wine aged in wood complete this sublime combination. The result is a complex, layered jam that evolves on the palate and invites discovery.
Ideal for pairing with medium or mild cheeses such as Queijo de Cabra Transmontano DOP or Queijo de Azeitão DOP, this jam also pairs beautifully with chocolate cakes, waffles, and fruit tarts. Its creamy texture and enveloping aroma make it a standout on any table, turning simple moments into memorable experiences. More than just a jam, it’s a testament to the quality of Portuguese fruit and the creativity that defines national gastronomy.
Craftsmanship and Sustainability
Each jam is handcrafted in small batches, following traditional methods that respect the natural cooking time and the integrity of the ingredients. The recipes use more than 55% fruit, ensuring intense flavor and natural texture without additives, colorings, or preservatives. This attention to process is what makes meia.dúzia® products truly authentic and full of Portuguese soul.
The packaging reflects the same commitment to sustainability. The tubes are made from 99.7% recyclable aluminum, protecting the contents while reducing environmental impact. After use, they should be disposed of in the yellow recycling bin, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to the planet’s future. Each gift is therefore also a conscious choice that values craftsmanship and respect for nature.
Design and Christmas Spirit
The Christmas Tree box was designed to convey elegance and simplicity. The matte black color combined with the silver shine of the geometric tree evokes the contrast between tradition and modernity, creating a distinctive design piece. It’s a visually striking gift that enhances the contents and reflects the meia.dúzia® aesthetic identity — sophisticated, minimalist, and deeply Portuguese.
More than just packaging, this box is a symbol of the holiday season and the joy of giving something meaningful. Perfect for companies, families, or friends, it’s a gift that embodies the spirit of sharing and care in every detail. It can also be reused, becoming a decorative element that extends the magic of Christmas long after the festivities end.
