Olive Oil Gift Box with Terracotta Jar
“Olive oil is one of the finest things you can give.”
A wooden box, an Apulian glazed terracotta jar and 3 litres of extra virgin olive oil: a gift that is good to taste and beautiful to keep.
3 gifts in one 250 ml jar Christmas gift idea
La Terra di Puglia created this olive oil gift box for those who believe — like us — that extra virgin olive oil is one of the finest products to give. A gift that is always welcome for its goodness, and that in this version also brings two beautiful objects to keep and display: the wooden box and the Apulian glazed terracotta jar.
It is a gift idea that comes ready-made, ready to be sent to whoever you like: no searching, no loose pieces to put together. It combines beauty, good taste and product quality, and finds its place in everyday cooking: that is why it is a gift that lasts, well beyond the holidays.

The box
Why give a wooden box
Giving a wooden box means giving not just a container of products, but a versatile object that can be reused and appreciated for a long time. This one is handcrafted and has handy closures: it looks lovely in the kitchen, where you can keep anything you like.
It easily finds a place in the living room or the office too, and becomes a practical accessory for organising small objects or displaying other delicacies in style. It combines elegance and function, and keeps adding value to the room you put it in.
The jar
Oil jars: an Apulian tradition
Oil jars have always been part of the rural tradition of Puglia. In the past there were none of the modern materials used today in the countryside and in the home, and all the “work” was entrusted to terracotta, raw or sometimes glazed. In some areas of Puglia, even more than in others, terracotta objects for the home, for daily use or simply for decoration were made then and are still made today.
To learn the history of oil jars you have to go back in time, to the large capase still kept in many country houses in Puglia and Salento. Today oil jars live on in Apulian ceramics, decorative and practical objects that combine the charm of the past with the elegance of contemporary design. Younger people love them too, so much so that they are often requested as wedding favours.
The jar in this box, made of glazed terracotta, was designed specially for the customers of our shop: lovely to keep in the kitchen and to put on the table every day, perfect for family use. It is a gift that stays, used every day and kept for years.
