Gourmet Basket from Menorca: What to Include Based on Occasion and Budget

A gourmet basket is one of those gifts that almost never misses, but getting the contents right depends on who it’s for and how much you want to invest. Here’s the guide to building yours with some judgement.

Basic basket: for a simple gesture

With a semi-cured Mahón-Menorca cheese, a small piece of sobrasada and a jar of honey, you have a basket that covers the essentials without overcomplicating things. It’s the most common choice for a thank-you gift or a corporate gift for several people, where the per-unit budget matters.

Mid-range basket: for a gift with more weight

Adding a bottle of Xoriguer Gin or a wine from one of the island’s wineries, the basket gains substance and becomes a gift with more presence — a good option for birthdays, anniversaries, or whenever you want the gesture to be noticed.

Full basket: for special occasions

For weddings, Christmas or higher-tier corporate gifts, combine cheese at several curing stages, artisan sobrasada, olive oil, honey, wine and gin. It’s the version that best represents the island’s variety of produce, and the one that tends to make the biggest impression when opened.

Baskets for specific occasions

• Corporate gift — prioritise individual formats and careful presentation over sheer quantity
• Wedding or anniversary — make wine and gin the stars, with cheese and sobrasada as accompaniments
• Newly arrived on the island — a varied selection so they discover the essentials of Menorca in one go
• For yourself — no restrictions: whatever you’re in the mood for right now

How it’s put together

You choose the products you want from cheese, sobrasada, gin, wine, oil, honey and salt at our shops in Mahón and Sant Climent, and we prepare it by hand for same-day collection. There’s no minimum number of products or fixed format — the basket adapts to what you need, not the other way around.
