In my Degustabox UK review, I give you the full lowdown on what to expect from the food subscription service. From price to quality of ingredients, I outline it all.
What is Degustabox UK?
Essentially it's a monthly subscription to a surprise food delivery. Each month they send you a variety of food products to sample.
How Much Does Degustabox Cost?
A Degustabox subscription costs £12.99 a month. There is no minimum subscription time and you can cancel your subscription at any time.
After the first box, you'll be able to choose a quarterly, semiannual or annual subscription type with discounts.
What's Good About Degustabox?
The main thing I like about the Degustabox subscription is the value. In fact, the box that I received was worth over £25, so from a value point of view, they're on to a winner.
It's also a brilliant way to try different ingredients and get introduced to foods you perhaps wouldn't normally buy for yourself in the supermarket.
The website is also very good, and easy to use.
Degustabox Content and Quality
As a foodie, the quality of the food was my main focus, and I'm pleased to say I wasn't disappointed.
What Brands and Types of Food Are Included?
There are around 10-15 products in each monthly delivery, many of which are new to the market. The items in the box are a surprise with a focus on bringing you something new and delicious with excellent value for money!

What is the Packaging Like?
The delivery was well packaged and looked very pretty on opening. I also loved the information card that came with it. It had a list of products, prices and recipe ideas on it so you knew exactly what you were getting.
All the snacks were wolfed down very quickly by my other half, he's the big kid of the house! All were approved of with no letdowns.
Meals I Made With the Degustabox Ingredients
I love, love, love blue dragon sweet chilli sauce as you will have already seen in my Cheats Stirfry Recipe.
I also used the Dr Oetker chocolate baking products, and the marshmallow creme to make a pretty awesome dark chocolate chiffon bundt with toasted marshmallow frosting.
And the brioche made a particularly good French toast.
Degustabox UK Review Summary
What do I think? And would I subscribe?
I really liked this delivery. It's always a risk paying for an unknown product but I'm pleased to say the quality of the contents and overall packaging are well worth the price in my opinion.
I love the idea of a random selection of food products to try out every month, it keeps things interesting and is a nice treat from your usual food shop.
So in a nutshell YES I would subscribe to Degustabox UK.
In the run up to Christmas, I also think it's worth noting that this would be an excellent gift for a foodie who has everything.
