The scents and colours of summer, the flavours of autumn, and the imprints of a hardworking pair of hands make for the most beautiful Christmas gifts<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a time when we can have any item from anywhere in the world, let\u2019s choose to give something unique and different. As happiness grows when shared, for the one receiving the gift and for the one whose time, skill, and heart are woven into the local product or handmade creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some ideas for your inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin in Oil, Flour, and Seeds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OPG Knezi\u010di\u0107<\/em> is located in Satnica \u0110akova\u010dka, run by young Benjamin and his family, who grow pumpkins to produce their distinctive pumpkin seed oil (bottled in 1 L, 0.5 L, and 250 ml), protein flour, and salted, spicy, roasted, or caramelized pumpkin seeds.

\u201eSlavoniklo\u201c Sweet and Savoury<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days it\u2019s rare to find a producer who makes traditional homemade preserves in sufficient quantities, but OPG Slavoniklo from Gat, near Beli\u0161\u0107e, proves it\u2019s possible. Their ajvar is made exclusively from roasted peppers, salt, and homemade spicy tomato sauce.

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Ga\u0161i\u0107” cheese<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Semi-hard, smoked, seasoned, cooked, or the squeaky fresh \u0161kripavac<\/em>, each on their own or in a mix, make just part of the wide selection from the famous Ga\u0161i\u0107 mini dairy farm in Beketinci www.opggasic.hr<\/a>.<\/em>. If you\u2019re not gifting them under the Christmas tree, then at least enrich your festive table with the excellent cheese, cream, yogurts, and other dairy delights<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Katini Lavandini<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change has helped lavender, immortelle, sage and rosemary flourish successfully in Slavonia and Baranja, rivaling their Mediterranean counterparts. A fine example is OPG Katini Lavandini www.katinilavandini.com<\/em><\/a>, dedicated to organic cultivation of medicinal herbs and their transformation into essential oils, natural cosmetics, and herbal preparations. Ointments, creams (especially their anti-age<\/em> line), macerates, hydrolats, balms, and serums are just part of the varied offer coming from this remarkable family farm in Tenja, near Osijek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
