First Look

The Yummy Bazaar box was much larger than I was expecting it to be.

The September 2015 Yummy Bazaar destination was “Spain” and included the following items:

~Black Truffle Potato Chips by Torres: Ohh, Black Truffle chips?  Yes!  These have just the right amount of salt and are made with authentic black summer truffles.  So good.

~Sweet Orange Olive Oil Tortas by Ines Rosales:  These are interesting.  They are made with crystallized Seville oranges and sprinkled with sugar.  I am honestly not sure what to think of these.  They sound like something I would like, but I wasn’t feeling it.  Maybe I need to try them with something else?

~Membrillo Quince Paste by San Lorenzo: I just a cannot get past the texture on this one.  It’s thicker than jello and has a harder texture. If I could get past the texture and the fact it’s in a can, I would probably really like it.

~Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil by La Pescadora: I usually just eat tuna in water, so this was quite a treat!  It’s delicious.  I don’t know that I want to pay $8 (that’s the price listed on the information card) for canned tuna, but it certainly was good.

~Spanish Bomba Paella Rice D.O.P. by Antonio Tomas: I can’t really get too excited about rice, but it’s always a welcome item.  Bomba rice doubles in size when cooked and is “less sticky” than your Asian or Mexican rice.  It’s recommended in paella so we are saving ours for that.

~Cold Extration Extra Virgin Olive Oil by Valdezarza: B was so excited to see this! I didn’t know this, but cold extraction methodology means that olive oil is extracted from olives without heating them, which leaves more of the original flavor.

~Paellero Paella Seasoning with Real Saffron by Carmencita: Yay!  We now have paella seasoning to go along with our rice. I don’t know what else we will end up using in our paella, but I am looking forward to it.

Because the items are authentic to Spain I didn’t end up doing a cost breakdown on this box.  I thought it was a fun one to try and thought they did a great hob with their selections.

    Quince paste is yummy with cheese and water crackers! You can either spread a little on your cracker and top with cheese or just put a dab directly on the cheese. My husband will eat a whole container of quince paste in like a week that way.

      Totally agree with Melissa… I think traditionally it is served with Manchego cheese. I could eat it by the boat load that way!
