Father’s Day is a special occasion to celebrate those who guide, protect, and teach us throughout life. And when we think of the most influential paternal figures, we must not forget our grandads.
They are the pillars of the family, carrying stories, memories, and unconditional love. Therefore, what better way to surprise them than with an authentic and delicious gift?

What Does This Box Include? A Detailed Presentation
This box contains two exceptional items: a matured cow’s cheese and a pumpkin and orange jam with cinnamon and almond. Each of these products is a true representation of the best Portugal has to offer, bringing quality and tradition to the table.
Pumpkin and Orange Jam with Cinnamon and Almond – 200g
The Pumpkin and Orange Jam with Cinnamon and Almond is an absolute explosion of flavours. Made artisanal-style, it combines carefully selected ingredients to create a unique and vibrant jam.
The natural sweetness of the pumpkin is balanced by the refreshing Algarve orange, which adds vibrant citrus notes. This fusion creates an engaging and sophisticated flavour, perfect for lovers of artisanal jams.
The special touch of cinnamon elevates this jam to another level, giving it a warm and comforting aroma, reminiscent of our grandmothers’ kitchens, where the scent of spices would fill the air.
The almonds add a crunchy texture, creating the perfect contrast with the smoothness of the jam. This detail makes the jam even more versatile, ideal for use both in sweet and savoury combinations.
This jam is perfect for pairing with cured cheeses, fresh bread, or pancakes. It can also be used as a filling for cakes and tarts, providing a gourmet touch to any homemade recipe.
Dom Villas Cow's Cheese – 190g
The Dom Villas Cow’s Cheese is a true icon of Portuguese gastronomy. Made from high-quality cow’s milk, this cured cheese has a soft texture and a slightly sweet flavour, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.
With a short maturation process, this cheese retains a unique creaminess, making it versatile both for solo tasting or for more refined gastronomic combinations. It’s perfect for slicing and serving as an appetiser or pairing with jams and dried fruits.
In addition to its authentic flavour, cow’s cheese is highly nutritious, being an excellent source of calcium and protein. Its balance of fat and creaminess makes it one of the most appreciated cheeses in Portugal.
When tasted, it reveals soft dairy notes and a subtle buttery touch, making it even more irresistible. Each bite transports you to the tradition of Portuguese artisanal cheeses, where the care put into production guarantees the excellence of the product.
Whether served with rustic bread, lightly toasted, or paired with a full-bodied wine, this cheese provides a unique and memorable sensory experience.
The products are carefully packaged in an elegant and sophisticated box, making this gift perfect for surprising your grandad with quality and refinement.
A Perfect Combination: Cheese and Jam, A Classic Tradition
The pairing of cheese and jam is a deeply rooted tradition in Portuguese gastronomy. The sweetness of the jam perfectly balances the smooth flavour of the cheese, creating an explosion of flavours that will delight any food lover.
This classic combination is perfect for various occasions: it can be served at a special breakfast, as a starter for a refined dinner, or even at an afternoon tea. It’s a sensory experience that brings back childhood memories and authentic flavours from our grandparents’ kitchens.
Furthermore, this pairing respects tradition but also allows for new gastronomic experiences. It can be accompanied by artisanal bread, crispy crackers, or even used in more sophisticated dishes like salads and tasting boards.
Either way, the union of cow’s cheese and pumpkin and orange jam creates a unique experience, perfect for those who appreciate the richness of Portuguese flavours.

Origin of raw materials
Rosemary and eucalyptus honey, more aromatic than other honeys, has a light brown tone and a more open aroma and palate.
Originating in North and Central America, where it is still one of the mainstays of food, the pumpkin belongs to the same family as the melon and watermelon (cucurbits). The shape of the pumpkin is variable, but it is usually ovoid or oblong. The rind is usually orange, but it can have other colors depending on the species. The bright orange color of the pumpkin contains a high content of carotenes, particularly beta-carotene, with antioxidant action. Beta carotene is then converted into vitamin A in the body.
