Now that the most endearing dates of the year are approaching, it is normal to start preparing the Christmas basket with which we will celebrate it with family and friends.

A basket of products that is of great importance to many, because it reflects the festive spirit that is placed on the table to entertain guests.

At Artemonte we join these celebrations by offering high-quality products, essential to prepare your Christmas basket. And we want to review those that you can include these holidays at your table and in your gift packages.

Quality sausages

Nothing like some plates of sausage to open your mouth when the guests arrive, right?

Our sausages have the flavor of tradition, since they are made by hand and only with natural meats:

Deer sausages such as cecina or chorizo. Its incomparable flavor will delight diners.
Fallow deer sausage, somewhat softer than deer but just as tasty. Salchichón and chorizo cannot be missing from the dishes.
Chorizo and other wild boar sausages are essential in a good Christmas basket, a Gourmet gift that everyone knows how to appreciate for its fame.
As for poultry, the duck sausage is also a classic, with delicious meat that, when cured, further enhances its extraordinary flavor.

Pates, a classic

Including some pâté is also very traditional in Christmas baskets. And the wild boar, deer, partridge or duck pâtés stand out for being natural products with an incomparable flavour.

The patés are ideal and very versatile. They can be served on canapés, accompanied by other products such as cheeses or jams (the one with red fruits combines very well with this type of pâté), filled with tartlets or placed on the table so that everyone can serve what they want.

corned meats

The artisan game preserves also fit into the list of essentials for your Christmas basket. They can be served as a starter with cold meats and pâtés, or used as an ingredient in salads and other preparations.

We can distinguish between two types of preserves:

Orza preserves, a traditional way of preserving meat in the Jaén area, where olive oil not only gives it a longer life but also gives the product an excellent flavor. Meats such as wild boar or deer in daggerboard are ideal even for the most elegant Christmas dinners.
Pickled preserves, another preservation process that has been used for centuries, especially for poultry such as partridge or quail. Perfect to accompany or as the main ingredient in numerous dishes.

Other essentials for the Christmas basket

In addition to sausages, pâtés and preserves, there are other products that cannot be missing from the basket, such as sparkling wines, cavas or cider. Although it is important to be careful if there are children among the guests, who should not drink alcohol even if it is of low alcohol content.

Nor can you miss a good assortment of Christmas sweets such as nougat, marzipan and shortbread, among others. A perfect ending or a way to greet guests as they walk through the door.

Chocolates, sugared almonds and sweet nuts such as dates or caramelized nuts are also part of the most traditional baskets.

Apart from these, the basket can be finished off with some new and original product. Some examples are panettone, sweet breads that are well known on Italian Christmas tables and are gaining ground outside its borders, or a bottle of extra virgin olive oil that has countless uses.
