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 May Box Degustabox?
Cirio Polpa Finissima (£1.50) is the Product of the Month. This is the latest addition to the impressive Cirio range of tomato-based products.
Cirio Polpa is an extra finely cut tomato pulp, which retains all the natural flavour of 100% Italian freshly picked tomatoes. Carefully prepared with selected tomatoes that are finely chopped and enrobed in thick rich sauce.
You can always trust Cirio to give an authentic taste of Italian cuisine in your own kitchen.
What mouthwatering meal will you cook? Pizza, pasta, oven-baked dishes?

My younger son is a Noodles King, and was happy to eat the whole lot. As you can see, it's not exactly a ginormous portion. He also likes to add an egg and some spring onions to his meal.
