Flavrbox: Review of September Flavrbox
This time when I received my Flavrbox at work, it caught the
attention of my co-workers and upon unearthing the first item, a lady near me
gave a squeal of excitement. The Torta de Aceite (£3.00)
biscuits I was holding were her favourite as a child growing up in Spain
Next was a large bottle of sweet Moscatel
Vinegar (retail price £8.95). This sounded promising to use as a salad
dressing or even as a glaze for vegetables. Then came some nibbles called Habas Fritas
(£1.50) which are crunchy salty broad beans that I’ve been snacking away
on. I have to say I wasn’t terribly enthusiastic about these and could have
done without them.
What excited me the most was the appearance of Rabitos
Chocolate Coated Figs (£3.95). Chewy figs from Extremadura in the western
part of Spain, filled with brandy truffle cream and covered in dark chocolate.
Mmmmmmm these were so good – I’m not ashamed to disclose I ate them all on the
first day I got the box!
The fifth item was a Empeltre Black Olive
Pate (£3.25) which I’ve planned to hoard away to give to my mum when I see
her because she is crazy about olives and this pate looks pretty cool. By now I started realizing there was a Spanish
theme to the box. Turns out Flavrbox partnered up with Brindisa, who bring
Spanish products and ingredients to London Spain
The retail price of all these products put
together was £20.65 and box costs me £20 so not such a great saving. However,
it was a pretty interesting box full of things I hadn’t tried before like the
figs and the tortas and it had some really high-quality products like the
vinegar and olive pate. And there's the bonus of receiving a surprise package at work and the fun of opening it up that never gets old!
If you’d like to buy any of these products, they
are all available on the Brindisa website. And if you’d like to order a Flavrbox, here is
their website: www.FlavrBox.com
