The latest Degustabox recently arrived and we excitedly pulled out the contents to see what was hiding inside. If you're a regular blog-reader, you may be thinking that it looks like there are fewer products in the first Degustabox picture compared to normal. Well, you'd be right and wrong for thinking so. The UK has introduced new HFSS (High Fat, Sugar and Salt) regulations and, as a result, certain HFSS products can no longer be promoted on social media in any form. This means that some products included in the monthly box cannot be sent to influencers for content creation purposes so regular Degustabox subscribers would receive more products that are not shown. There are seven products in this month's box that I won't be mentioning just to give you an idea of the box value.
The first product comes from a big brand that we are big fans of : Bisto Smooth Peppercorn Sauce (RRP £2.95). I love the taste and convenience of their gravy granules so I was keen to see what we'd think. Well, it was a big hit. We love the taste and the smooth, creamy texture of the sauce which can be made in minutes to accompany steak and burgers or sausages, chicken and pork chops. You just need to add boiling water and stir so it requires minimal effort and really perks up your plateful. It is free from artificial colours and preservatives and each tub contains 19 individual servings. Available in all major supermarkets.
Snyders of Hanover Honey Mustard & Onion Pretzel Pieces (RRP £2) are a deliciously crunchy snack bursting with a sweet and savoury flavour that we all loved. Created by America's number one pretzel brand, they are also available in Hot Buffalo Wings, Cheddar Cheese and Jalapeño flavours. They would be a great addition to packed lunches or can be enjoyed in front of a movie on the sofa. Available on amazon, in Ocado and in quality convenience stores.
Filippo Berio Squeezable Olive Oil (RRP £7.99 each) offers a convenient new format for the popular olive oil range. The easy pour cap and squeezable plastic bottle make pouring, squeezing and drizzling simple and mess-free. We already knew and loved the fresh taste of the Classico oil, perfect for cooking on a daily basis (I use it in a frying pan with sausages, steaks, pork chops, chicken or whatever else needs cooking but also drizzled over potatoes in the oven for perfect roasties) but we also discovered their Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Finishing and Hot & Fiery Chilli Flavoured Olive Oil which is great for perking up meat, vegetables and chilli con carne. Available on amazon or the Filippo Berio website.
Truly Nuts Buck Naked Whole and Raw Brazil Nuts (RRP £3.99) are sustainably sourced Amazon-harvested nuts, offering wholesome nutrition (including high selenium and healthy fats) and a positive environmental mission. We loved the crunchy, almost creamy texture and fresh taste. Other subscribers received Deep Thoughts Dark Chocolate and Sweet Talk Milk Chocolate varieties, which also sound very tasty. Available in WH Smiths.
Wagamama Firecracker Curry Sauce (RRP £2.75) is a simple and cheaper way of recreating some of your favourite in-restaurant meals. The Firecracker sauce is a sweet and spicy sauce with sriracha and chilli, perfect for recreating prawn, chicken or tofu firecracker curry. The jar contains 2-3 servings and has a hot three-chilli rating. Other subscribers received Coconut and Lemongrass Curry Sauce. Available in Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Ocado.
Tuk-In Lime Pickle Bombay Trail Mix (RRP £1.50) ofers the zesty, acidic flavour that you would expect of lime pickle. The ingredients include a range of superfoods. Limes are high in vitamin C and antioxidants and the packs are high in fibre, a source of magnesium and vitamin E, with 7g of protein in every bag. I'm not keen on the taste of lime pickle but the kids enjoyed the zesty flavour and crunchy texture.
A subscription to Degustabox costs £12.99 per month including delivery, with each box having a value of much more than that, but the great news is, I have a discount coupon code for you which means you'll get the first box for just £9.99 - enter code PKUFE at the checkout.
