Christmas baskets for companies ALBEROBELLO

Christmas baskets for companies are a chance to celebrate the festive season and enjoy some delicacies, but they also come with a few practical matters. On this page you will find our corporate Christmas hamper called Alberobello, in tribute to the town of the trulli, together with useful information on the tax side for companies in Italy: VAT, deductibility and invoicing.

For your business promotion, or simply as a thank-you to friends, clients, suppliers or collaborators, we have selected the best of the Apulian food and wine tradition. That way, a corporate Christmas basket becomes a gesture your staff and clients will appreciate, without overlooking the administrative and tax side.

Good food is our passion: a passion we guard jealously and love to pack like something precious, to give to special people. What unites us is the wish to rediscover the unforgettable flavours of the past, still made today by the skilled hands of small artisans: in a global world, we like to give them the leading role.

We have put time and care not only into choosing producers and products, but also into the packaging, to meet every need in both content and looks: beautiful on the outside, good on the inside. And we have imagined our boxes as a 400 km journey of taste and flavours, far and wide along the whole of Puglia: that is why we named them after Apulian towns and cities.

Famous throughout the world for its trulli, rural buildings unique of their kind, romantic and incredibly evocative, Alberobello has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

We have dedicated this box to it: the flavours of Puglia will make Christmas unique for whoever receives this extraordinary gift.

In Puglia it is not Christmas without a good artisan fig and chocolate panettone, a brut rosé sparkling wine, a bottle of Albarossa Palamà Primitivo red wine and a Martina Franca capocollo. The Alberobello box has them all: let the party begin!

Around them, a complete Apulian pantry: orecchiette and artisan passata, extra virgin olive oil in a terracotta jar, preserves in oil and olives, taralli, traditional sweets and an artisan pumo. With this box you give clients, friends or suppliers a gift that will not go unnoticed.

The jam may be fig, grape or quince, depending on availability. The oil with jar comes in limited quantities: when it runs out, we replace it with a 500 ml bottle of Primoljo oil (Favololio, PDO or PGI), of similar value: the jar holds 250 ml, and its value lies in the terracotta jar itself. And if a product runs out, we replace it with a similar one of equal value: this happens especially with orders placed close to the holidays.

For companies in Italy, the VAT on corporate Christmas hampers depends on what is inside, because it follows the individual products. For many foods the rate is 10%; for other products, such as wine, it rises to 22%.

A corporate Christmas package combining goods with different rates must therefore be split correctly: each product with its own rate. That is the case with the Alberobello box, where two wines sit alongside pasta, preserves and sweets.

Under Italian rules, what matters is the value of each single gift, calculated by adding up the goods in the hamper. Below the value threshold set by law, the gift is fully deductible, with no limitation; above it, it counts as an entertainment expense (spesa di rappresentanza).

Deductibility therefore depends on both the value and the recipient. This is general information: for your company's own case, it is best to ask your accountant.

To invoice Christmas baskets for companies, it is essential to detail the contents of the hamper and the VAT rates applied: the invoice must clearly list the products included, each with its own rate. Our shop's invoice does exactly that: it lists the products in the box, each with its own VAT rate.

Corporate gift boxes must be properly documented: that is what allows correct tax treatment, starting with deductibility.
