Tuscan Excellence Gift Basket – Christmas Hamper with 9 Typical Products
- 100% traceable Tuscan supply chain
- Secure online payment
- Refrigerated delivery +2/+4°C
- Shipping to 27 EU countries
- Vacuum-packed
The Tuscan Excellence Gift Basket is a Tuscan Christmas hamper with 9 typical products: cured meats, caciotta cheese, pasta, sauces and crostino spread. The salumi and the caciotta are vacuum-packed and everything arrives in a Salumeria Toscana gift box, ready to give or to bring a complete Tuscan dinner to the table, from antipasto to pasta.
🎁 Why it is different from ordinary Christmas hampers
It is not a selection of packaged products taken off a shelf: it is a Tuscan menu. The salumi, the caciotta with fig mustard and the chicken liver crostino make the antipasto; the bronze-drawn pici and the wild boar ragù make the pasta course; the guanciale and pancetta are for carbonara, amatriciana and sauces in the days after the holidays.
Every producer in our artisanal Tuscan selection is tasted in person before joining the catalogue. In the hamper you will find Finocchiona IGP from Bontà Toscane and bronze-drawn pici from Fabianelli. The salumi are vacuum-packed, so the hamper travels well even over long distances.

🍝 How to serve it: a Tuscan dinner in a hamper
Antipasto
Slice the Finocchiona IGP and soppressata thinly, serve the caciotta in wedges with a spoonful of fig mustard and make the crostini: warm the liver pâté and spread it on toasted Tuscan bread.
Pasta course
Cook the pici in plenty of salted water for the time shown on the pack, then toss them in a pan with the warmed wild boar ragù and a ladle of cooking water. For a traditional alternative try pici all'aglione; to learn more about the sauce, read our guide to Tuscan wild boar ragù.
After the holidays
Guanciale is the base of carbonara, amatriciana and gricia; Tuscan pancetta adds flavour to soffritto, pulses and meat sauces.

🍷 Pairings
With salumi, crostini and pici with wild boar ragù, choose a well-structured Tuscan red such as a Chianti Classico or a Morellino di Scansano: you will find the selection in our Tuscan wine shop. With the caciotta and fig mustard, a soft Tuscan white also works well.
