If you know someone biting at good things as they bite life, this is the perfect gift.

We thought about a full on guilty quality pleasure for this one, to celebrate the coming feats, or any other good occasion to enjoy life.

Starting with the cured sausage from Basilicata.

• Salsiccia Staggionata Dolce, by Sapori Mediterranei

±270g

The queen of the table, it is prepared with lean and selected pure pork meats, cut coarsely according to tradition, mixed with salt, ground sweet pepper and wild mountain fennel seeds, in expertly measured quantities. The aroma is characterized by a hint of spices. On the palate it is soft and well-balanced.

Now a bite of cheese, recently discovered at Cheese Berlin 2024

• The Sénerac by Maison Marie Severac

1/2 wheel ±300g 

A modern twist on Cantal cheese, produced using ancestral methods passed down through generations. Le Sénerac is made entirely by hand on the farm, using raw milk from Salers cows grazing on mineral-rich volcanic pastures at over 1,000 meters altitude. We decided to introduce its 6-month hay milk version first, as it struck the perfect balance we were looking for. The flavor profile is nutty, spicy with a tangy kick that evolves into a creamy finish, featuring delicate notes of hay and honey, fruity and floral. It has a distinct character but is wonderfully balanced—a complex cheese that is sure to be a crowd favorite.

A sip of natural wine to cut in the fat and start the aromatic ballet.

• Lilli 2022, by Ananda

Selected especially for this box by Rocket Wine.

A dry and crispy rosé wine from Veneto (IT) made from a direct press of Cabernet Franc (red grapes).
And what a surprise: exit the usual glass of rosé, this time it is fresh, complex, original and fun. A clean, silky mouthfeel carrying minerality, notes of provencal flowers with light volatiles and acidity giving the nectar reminiscences of violet hard candy. 

And finally, for the sweet tooth..

• Toasted Buckwheet Dark Chocolate by Ocelot 

70g - 55% Dark Milk Chocolate

Smooth and creamy organic dark-milk chocolate made with rare Amelonado cocoa beans grown by a pioneering women’s cooperative in Eastern Congo. A sprinkling of crunchy toasted buckwheat elevates the rich aromatic flavours and gives  a deliciously contrasting texture.

• Packaging

As always, we do not do things half. This selection is nicely wrap in straw and a colorful silk paper, carefully set in a grass paper box. And since the box is part of the gift, we slide the lot in an other shipping box.

CONCERNING THE WINE SECTION :

Understanding Our Wine Quality Process: We carefully select and taste each wine with Rocket Wine to ensure it meets our standards and matches the detailed descriptions on our webshop. However, we recognize that every palate is unique, and sometimes a wine may not align with your expectations.

If you suspect that your wine is corked or doesn't taste as it should, we're here to support you. We kindly ask that you bring the bottle to our, or Rocket Wine location. This allows us to taste the wine and accurately determine the issue, as this is the most effective method to assess these particular concerns.

We value your input and understand that taste can be subjective. While we strive to provide thorough information and taste profiles for each wine, personal preferences may vary. That's why we invite you to bring in any wine you feel is not up to standard. Please note that for a refund or exchange, the bottle should have more than 50cl remaining.

By following this process, we aim to ensure fairness and maintain the high-quality wine experience you expect from us. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this delicate matter.
