This is a PR box, this means there will sometimes be additional flavours or products than you’d get as a subscriber, I will highlight this within my post.
The theme for the November Degustabox was festive and gourmet, so it seemed only right that we bought a little Christmas cheer to our photos. Bob has started getting super involved with photographing items for the blog, and things have definitely taken a more creative turn.
£0.85 each from major supermarket chains.
It happens to pair perfectly with this mini caramel Stroopwafels from Daelmans. These have long been a favourite treat of mine, having Dutch relatives and a sweet tooth. Perfect for sharing over a cuppa, or popping in a food lover’s stocking.
Hot chocolate £1.00 from Amazon or pipschocolate.com
Stroopwafels £1.30 from Sainsbury’s and Ocado.
£1.99 for the protein bar, £1.30 for the caramel almond one. Available at kindsnacks.co.uk
£1.50 from Tesco, Milk and More and Ocado.
£1.20 from Co-op, Morrisons, Tesco, Asda and discounters.
I’m not a wine drinker but Bob gladly sampled these two Wolf Blass varieties. He really rated the Cabernet Sauvignon and he’s usually super fussy about red wine. The white was also a hit, although never his preferred choice he said any Chardonnay fan would like this.
£2.25 a bottle from major supermarket chains.
£4.99
A vegan pesto from Zest made with coriander and basil. We haven’t tried this yet but I’m planning on some kind of chicken and pasta dish. This Pesto is vegan friendly and gluten free making it an ideal store cupboard staple for whipping up a quick dinner.
Also a great staple is this Dijon mustard from Maille. We use a lot of mustard when we’re cooking and for sauces and is something we’re never without. We love this particular mustard with steak, or as part of a honey and mustard sauce for gammon.
Pesto £2.20 from Morrisons, Ocado, Amazon and independent stores nationwide.
Mustard £1.99 from most major supermarket chains.
I hope you enjoyed this month’s round up. Let me know which products caught your eye the most and what some of your favourite festive snacks are.
If you’re new to Degustabox, it’s a monthly food subscription box that gives you the chance to try new and exciting products on the market whilst providing amazing value for money.
On a month by month basis the box costs £12.99 (with a discount for longer subscriptions) but the contents are generally worth far more than this as you can see if you do the maths.
If you’re persuaded to give Degustabox a go (and really, you should) you can claim £3.00 off of your first box (making it just £9.99!) by entering the code XOQGC at the checkout. It’s been a pleasure to work with the brand regularly over the last couple of years and it’s without a doubt something that I will continue to purchase long after our partnership ends. I love the monthly surprise and excitement as well as the chance to discover products I’d otherwise pass up on the supermarket shelves.
