Christmas charcuterie gift boxes made in the Ardèche, not assembled somewhere else

A good gift box comes down to three things: what is inside, how it is presented, and knowing who made it. Our Christmas boxes are put together in our workshops in Joyeuse, in the southern Ardèche, by the craftsmen of Charcuteries Debroas. We are not resellers: the charcuterie you give comes out of our own drying rooms, filled into natural casing and matured for several weeks.

That is the most useful difference to know when comparing gift boxes: most of the sites selling them do not make them. Buying from the charcutier means paying for the product rather than the chain of middlemen.

Which box suits your budget

Under €10 — the Minissons

Shaped mini saucissons, in Christmas, piglet or Zizi versions. The small gift that raises a smile: for a Christmas stocking, a festive table, or a secret santa.

Around €20 — the saucisson cigar gift box

Five dry-cured saucissons in packaging that echoes cigar boxes. Five flavours — pure pork, Cantal, walnut, herbes de Provence, Beaufort — to show what a recipe really changes about the taste. This is the box people give to someone whose preferences they do not know yet.

Around €50 — the advent calendar and the Christmas box

Our saucisson advent calendar has 24 doors, 87 pieces and 818 g: twenty-one doors hold four grignottes (mini saucissons) each, the last three a whole dry-cured saucisson. We were the first to put whole saucissons in the doors — which is what makes it shareable rather than a solitary affair.

Above that — the filled hampers

To give to several people, to a family, or in a professional setting, our hampers and boxes bring together several of our charcuterie references in a presentation ready to be given.

Corporate and staff gifts

Christmas boxes are one of our most requested formats for corporate gifting, for three reasons: almost everyone likes them, they are easy to distribute, and they do not end up at the back of a cupboard.

For the advent calendars, business orders ship first, from 3 November, which leaves time to hand them out before the holidays. Volume pricing and terms are on our business customer area, and there is a dedicated page for associations, works councils and schools.

Dispatch and delivery times

Our Christmas boxes are not on pre-order: they ship within the shop's usual timescales. An order placed before 9 am is packed and dispatched the same day, and home delivery takes 48 to 72 working hours.

Only the advent calendars are on pre-order. They are made in a limited edition and sell out every year before the end of November:

  • Business customers — dispatch from 3 November 2026
  • Private customers — dispatch from 18 November 2026
  • Delivery guaranteed before 1 December for any calendar pre-order placed before 25 November
  • The calendar is ordered on its own: it ships separately from the rest of the shop, so you will need a distinct order for your gift boxes and other products

Frequently asked questions

Which gift box should you give a real charcuterie lover?
Look at the total weight and whether whole saucissons are included, rather than the number of pieces, which is easily inflated with very small formats. A connoisseur will appreciate three saucissons to slice more than a multitude of mouthfuls.

Can the advent calendar be ordered with other products?
No. The calendar ships separately, on its own pre-order schedule: you need a distinct order for your other saucissons.

How long does the charcuterie in a gift box keep?
Keep the box somewhere dry and cool, below 18 °C. A fridge is not necessary, but it will help the saucissons keep for longer: if you use one, take them out 15 to 30 minutes before eating. Small formats dry out quickly once opened and are best eaten within the following days; a whole dry-cured saucisson keeps for several weeks.

Is the grey bloom on the saucisson normal?
Yes, and it is a good sign. It is a noble mould, edible, which protects the product and takes part in its maturing. It is the mark of slow, traditional drying. If you would rather not have it, simply rub the saucisson before slicing.

Do you deliver outside France?
We deliver within the European Union. Germany is our second market.

Do you take group orders for a company or a works council?
Yes, with volume pricing. For the advent calendars, business orders get priority dispatch, from 3 November. Full details are on our business customer area.
