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.
