Ra-Ro's most complete hamper, with six crafts inside

This is the hamper for anyone who wants to give a little of every corner of Portugal. The Cobertor de Papa Lobeira blanket is woven in wool like the blankets of the shepherds of the Guarda highlands. The large jar is black clay from Gondar, fired in a soenga by César Teixeira, and the Ouriço in glazed clay comes from the hands of António Ramalho.

For the table there is Vinho dos Mortos, which the Pereira family buries by hand in Boticas, Trás-os-Montes, Tratturo de Fronteira extra virgin olive oil from the Alto Alentejo, and smoked pork neck with Senra cheese from Quinta dos Fumeiros in Ponte de Lima. Pieces to keep for years and flavours to share on Christmas night.

Why it costs what it costs: every piece is made by hand, one at a time. The soenga is a 17th-century technique in which the fire reaches 1000 ºC, Vinho dos Mortos comes out at around 5000 bottles a year, each one buried by hand, and the blanket is thick-woven wool, as it has been for generations. The price pays for the time of the people who still know how, and the hamper costs €46.60 less than the pieces bought separately.

Who it is for: the person you want to give the biggest present of the year, a new home, or a family that likes to have the whole country at the table.

When to order: shipping takes about 2 weeks, because several pieces depend on the pace of the people who make them. The earlier you order, the more margin you have before Christmas.

If you would like any of the items wrapped separately to give to different people, just reply to the order confirmation email saying which pieces to wrap individually.

This hamper includes wine. Not for sale to anyone under 18. Please drink responsibly.
