Your Personal Tasting Journey...

Next up in my surprise package series, is the wonderful Ooh! Box. I really love everything about this box, from the presentation, to the packaging, to the quality full-sized surprise products received.
This box is delivered to your doorstep or office once a month, for R559 per month (this includes delivery). In the box you will have a minimum of 8 items:
  • 4 x Wines (these retail between R85 – R140)
  • 1 x 250ml Olive Oil or Balsamic Vinegar or a condiment
  • 1 x “Hot “Drink (coffee, tea, chocolate or a “new” product)
  • 1 x Sweet (the really, really good stuff)
  • 1 x Taste Treat (anything that makes you go Ooh!)
My box arrived just in time for the weekend. I raced to open it and tore into it before I even had the chance to take a proper photo, I was so excited!

I was delighted with the contents, and not one of those products will go unused ;) I definitely don't need to comment on the quality of wines received, you can see by the awards they've won. The toffees have really cool flavours, like Chocolate & Red Wine, and Pomegranate & Orange. I love that they're so different and unique. The coffee smells amazing and as soon as I can organise a filter machine I will be drinking it daily. I can never have enough Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I use it all the time for my cooking. And in terms of the Beet Relish, I saw some amazing ideas on the Ooh! Box Facebook page for creative uses for it (YUM):

Get yours
Visit their website and Facebook page to have a look at their options and to sign up for your box. I will definitely be ordering again from them, they are my favourite and I highly recommend them :) 

They've also just launched a brand new Ooh! Box service for R799pm, aimed at the men (although I would love this one too) - a Craft Beer and Biltong Box! It will contain 12 Bottles of Premium Craft Beers, 1kg Biltong and 1kg Droëwors. Sounds delicious and it's always great trying new craft beers. You can read more about this box here.
