Birthdays are the most frequent gift of the year and the hardest to keep fresh. A foodie birthday gift has one big advantage: it gets eaten, so it does not pile up, and it is shared on the day. Here is which charcuterie box to give depending on the person, with the budget alongside.
The colleague or acquaintance: €20
Not sure of their tastes? The Mini Box Apéro (€19.99) is the safe choice: an award-winning dry sausage, a mild PGI chorizo, a Catalan fuet. Mild, approachable, risk-free. For a group gift at the office, go for the Box Signature below.
The best friend who loves hosting: €30 to €35
They organise the aperitifs and always have a board on the table. Give them the raw material: the Box Classique (€30.99) or the Box Gourmand (€33.99) with both chorizos, mild and spicy, and a pair of fuets.
The father-in-law or uncle who knows his stuff: €30
The one who comments on the grind of the saucisson. The Box Charcuterie Fine (€29.99) brings together an artisan saucisson, a Lomo Reserva aged 9 months, Serrano TSG aged 12 months and a fuet: four pieces worth talking about.
The grandfather who loves tradition: €11 to €35
A taste for things done properly: the handmade Auvergne saucisson sec, the Silver Medal dry sausage, or the whole range of charcuterie from Auvergne. To make an impression, the Box Terroir (€34.50) is all about whole pieces.
The sibling who dreams of Spain: €50
The Box Ibérique: PGI chorizo, lomo, a quarter of Serrano ham, two fuets. With our 10 easy tapas, it is a ready-made themed birthday.
The birthday party for ten: €56 to €60
When the gift feeds the party: the Box XXL Conviviale (€59.99, ten guests, a quarter of Serrano) or the Box Signature (€55.99, seven cured meats). The ideal group gift: split four ways, it is €15 each.
30th, 40th, 50th: the whole ham
For a milestone birthday, a piece nobody forgets: a whole boneless ham, Auvergne PGI, Serrano TSG or Bellota aged 36 months. It takes pride of place at the party and keeps being carved for weeks. The differences between the three are in Serrano, Ibérico, Bellota: the differences.
How to give a charcuterie box well
- Have it delivered to the recipient: their address for delivery, yours for billing. Shipping within 24 to 48 working hours, to France and the European Union.
- Plan ahead: dry-cured meats keep for several weeks in a cool place (our storage tips). You can order ten days in advance.
- Add the wine: our pairings are in which wine with charcuterie.
