Before you order

• Order early. December deliveries fill up; check the delivery date Amazon shows before you buy.
• Check the best-before date of sliced ham and cheese if you’re buying weeks in advance. Tins and olive oil keep for months.
• Buy it in the UK. Since 2025 you can’t bring meat or dairy from the EU in your luggage, so a leg from a Spanish holiday isn’t an option.
