July Box Degustabox

 Degustabox is a monthly food and drink subscription box. It's an excellent way of discovering new products which have only just appeared in the shops, or those which have been around for a while, but you haven't had a chance to try them yet.

Thanks to Degustabox, I have found new favourites to add to our shopping list, including some products which I otherwise wouldn't have tried.

Each time a monthly box arrives, its contents are a total surprise. You get a good selection of foods and drinks.

If you haven't tried Degustabox subscription box yet, and would like to have a go, I have a £3off discount from your first box (and you can unsubscribe any time), just use code DKRLN when placing an order. 

What did we get in July Box Degustabox?

Let's begin with the Product of the Month:

Peppadew Mild Sweet Piquanté Peppers (£3.25) is a flavourful, versatile ingredient for a variety of recipes, from pasta dishes to salads, from an antipasti platter to pizza topping.

These bite-sized peppers have a sweet and tangy taste, and a crunchy crisp texture. They will enhance any cheese sandwich, whether is a spreadable soft cheese, or a crumbly Cheddar.

Each mini pepper is de-cored and could be stuffed with cream cheese.

Joyfull Millets Choco & Nut Crunchy Muesli (£4.20) is made with mighty millets ( a super grain) and is full of natural goodness. If you prefer chocolate-flavoured breakfasts, you are in for a treat.
