It includes a copy of Samin Nosrat’s book Good Things and a bunch of little food items. I don’t know if they’ll be teensy tiny samples or a little larger but it should be fun in any case.
I’ll report back when I receive it.
I said I’d report on this and am still waiting on the Coop’s fudge gift pack (edited to add that I just got an email that Coop’s is coming tomorrow) and the frozen gougeres from Bougie Gougies but have received everything else. Each item or set was shipped from that company so it was kind of like the 12 days of Christmas with something arriving every day or so.
Everything has been full sized, most packaged like a gift and several included hand-written, personal notes.
The olive oils from Portugal via Wildly Virgin arrived first, two 500 ml bottles with a little booklet about the growers. They sent the Forte and Verde (priced at $38 and $40 on the website.
I didn’t take photos of everything since they were mostly just as pictured in my previous post but I liked this little card with serving suggestions for the Effie's biscuits.
They’re on sale this week at Whole Foods so I might pick up the flavors I didn’t get in this gift package.
