PACK 6 Honey of Portugal – Christmas Gift

A Christmas Gift with the Pure Flavor of Portuguese Honey

The PACK 6 Honey from Portugal – Christmas Gift is a celebration of nature and Portuguese tradition. Six distinct honeys, harvested in regions with unique landscapes and blended with national fruits and spices, transform this set into a complete sensory experience. More than a gift, it is a gesture of sharing and authenticity — a reflection of the sweetness, generosity, and warmth of Christmas in Portugal.

Each meia.dúzia® tube contains honey collected by local beekeepers who respect the natural cycle of the bees and the diversity of floral blooms. From Serra da Estrela to Alentejo, from the Algarve to Serra da Lousã, this selection pays tribute to the land and the craftsmanship that make Portuguese honey one of the most valued in Europe. The hexagonal package design, inspired by the beehive, was awarded the Red Dot Design Award 2017, an international symbol of excellence and innovation.

The 6 Flavors That Tell the Story of the Portuguese Landscapes

Each honey represents a landscape, an aroma, and a memory. From the floral scent of rosemary to the spicy touch of chili pepper, passing through the softness of dried pears or the strength of ginger, every combination carries the spirit of Portuguese agricultural traditions. A perfect gift for those who appreciate authentic products and want to offer something truly unique this Christmas.

Heather Honey from Serra da Lousã with Ginger

On the green slopes of Serra da Lousã, bees collect the nectar of heathers, giving rise to a full-bodied, slightly acidic mountain honey. The addition of Portuguese ginger brings warm and exotic notes, with a subtly spicy finish. Ideal to accompany tea, toast, or aged cheeses, this honey is also known for its energizing benefits and antioxidant properties.

Chestnut Honey with Pistachio

A sophisticated and unexpected combination: the intense and slightly bitter flavor of Portuguese chestnut honey, with its woody notes, meets the delicately toasted touch of pistachio. An artisanal honey with a striking aroma and amber color, ideal for pairing with aged cheeses, grilled meats, and dried fruits.

Rosemary Honey with Apple and Cinnamon

Light in color and delicate in flavor, rosemary honey is harvested on the sunny slopes of Serra da Malcata. Blended with dried apple and Portuguese cinnamon, it becomes an aromatic honey that evokes the scent of festive days at home. It is ideal to pair with ricotta, almond toasts, spice cakes, and to finish Christmas desserts such as rice pudding or “filhoses”.

Orange Blossom Honey with Chili Pepper

Harvested from the orchards of the Algarve, orange blossom honey stands out for its golden tone and fresh aroma. In this version, the meeting with chili pepper creates a bold and vibrant combination, balancing sweetness and heat. A special touch for marinades, aged cheeses, or even for pairing with white meats and chocolate desserts.

Heather Honey from Serra da Estrela with Elderberry

This dense and dark honey, originating from the heathers of Serra da Estrela, is rich in minerals and has a bold flavor. The addition of elderberry — a plant traditionally known as a guardian of health — gives it a purplish tone and a slight acidity. A honey full of personality, ideal for those who prefer less sweet and more intense flavors.

Multifloral Honey

Harvested in meadows and valleys of the Beiras region, multifloral honey results from the natural diversity of flowers such as rosemary, heather, rosemary shrub, gorse, and mallow. Light, aromatic, and balanced, it is a honey that pleases all palates. Versatile and nutritious, it is perfect for sweetening breakfast, pairing with artisan bread, or being used in cake recipes and marinades.

Tradition and Innovation in Every Detail

The hexagonal packaging of this pack pays tribute to the perfect geometry of beehives — a symbol of harmony and the dedication of bees. Each honey tube fits like a cell, forming a set that combines modern design with natural inspiration. Made from recyclable, airtight aluminum, the tubes preserve the aroma, color, and flavor of the honey without the addition of preservatives.

The Red Dot Award 2017 recognized this innovative concept, highlighting the fusion between tradition and contemporary Portuguese design. The result is a gift that enchants through its form, functionality, and the authenticity of its content.
