The package comprises a shell (1) provided with at least two wings (3), which are provided with respective receptacles (5) for containing corresponding products, and a separation rib (4), which is interposed between said wings; a layer (7) for closing the receptacles (5), which is associated with the shell (2), each wing being articulated about a corresponding side of the separation rib between an open configuration, in which the wings are mutually spaced, and a closed configuration, in which they are arranged so that their respective inner faces are in mutual contact and the receptacles protrude between the faces; and means (8) for closing the wings (3) by pressing, which are associated with the shell. The receptacles (5) of each wing (3) are offset with respect to the receptacles (5) of the other wing (3) and are arranged side by side at a distance that is at least equal to their transverse dimension, part of the receptacles (5) of each wing (3) being able, in the closed configuration, to be accommodated between two adjacent receptacles of the other one of the wings. The closure means (8), moreover, comprise at least one ridge (12) that protrudes laterally from at least one receptacle (5).
