About Try the World
At Try The World, we believe that food is one of the greatest way to discover new cultures. Discovering new lifestyles and new countries is what broadens our horizons and makes us who we are. So we created Try The World, the first service that lets you discover the best gourmet food and cultural finds from across the globe, delivered right to your door! Our members receive a curated gourmet box from a different destination every 2 months. Each box captures the essence of incredible places such as France, Italy, Brazil, Japan, and many more. We rely on our celebrity chefs to hand select the most delicious and authentic treats from around the world, and to enable anyone to experience the actual day-to-day foods and lifestyles from around the world. Try The World was founded by Kat and David who met while studying at Columbia University, and grew out of their passion for food and for discovering new cultures. They didn`t have enough time or resources to travel the world, so they decided to bring the world to people`s doorstep, no passport needed! Growing up in Russia and New York, Kat caught the travel bug while studying photography and foreign languages at Columbia University. She fell in love with French culture while studying abroad in Paris for 9 months, and has since traveled to more than 30 countries. After every trip, Kat came home with a box of delicious souvenirs for her friends and family, and documented her culinary and travel adventures on her blog which got the attention of FOX and Esquire TV networks. Kat also honed her global business skills while working at companies such as The New York Times and Weight Watchers, and met David while working on her MBA at Columbia Business School. As an avid traveler and serial entrepreneur, David came to New York from Paris to explore the city where everyone meets. Through his experience of launching businesses and living in Europe, Asia and North America, and while pursuing his master`s degree at Columbia`s School of International and Public Affairs, David realized how important local products and local cultures are in our understanding of different lifestyles. David believes that enjoying another culture`s food is getting closer to the culture itself, quoting Epictetus as his motto: "bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast". It is with this philosophy that we created Try The World, sourcing the best products from around the world. All our products are USFDA approved but are difficult to find in the United States. They are hand picked by Try The World`s team of travelers as well as by local experts, with a promise that they pass our highly selective criteria, eyes, ears and tastes! Subscribe to Try The World to be surprised by delicious foods from around the world, or suggest a destination or product that you`d like to see. Stay tuned by liking us on Facebook and by signing up for our newsletter!
 
 
my thoughts

 

I was lucky to try another great box from Try the World! This time I got the Spain Box. This box came with a total of 7 full sized products! Most items I`ve never tried before, but all were definitely brands I have never tried before that.  I particularly love that each box has a card to tell you all about each product and a culture guide with music, movies, recipes and more. This helps you to understand the products and how to use them. Here are the details of the box I received:
 
INES ROSALES, cortadillo citrus crumble cakes A cortadillo is a traditional Spanish pastry flavored with cinnamon and lemon and filled with cider cream. These crumble cakes continue to be made by hand according to a recipe that was developed over 100 years ago!
 
ESPINALER, canned white tune A family company dedicated to the quality of their products, Espinaler obtains bonito del norte, or white tuna, from tropical and subtropical waters around the world. It`s delicious over crostini, tossed in a salad, or mixed into warm, rice dishes.
 
EL NAVARRICO, salso tumaco con ajo Made with ripe tomatoes, olive oil, fresh garlic, and salt, this tomato sauce is delicious spread over toast or served as a dip. See the recipe for Pan con Tomate in your Culture Guide to make a delicious tapa (or Catalonian breakfast) with the sauce.
 
EL ALMENDRO, turron Since 1883, El Amendro has been producing turron, a popular holiday candy, with raw ingredients and traditional craftsmanship. This one, made with crushed almonds, is crunchy and slightly sweet - a perfect pairing for coffee or tea.
 
P.LISTO, floral jams These delicate preserves are made using artisanal production techniques with ingredients grown on the company`s family farm in southeastern Spain. They are delicious with toast and served with cheese or tea.
 
EL AVION, paprika Paprika is a primary ingredient in many of Spain`s best-known dishes, including vegetable or seafood paella and patatas bravas. El Avion makes this one, packaged in collectible vintage tins, with ripe peppers to maintain the spice`s bright color and flavor.
 
OLEUM HISPANIA, extra-virgin olive oil Located in Cordoba, a region that is internationally recognized for producing high quality olive oil, Oleum Hispania harvests ripe olives grown in high -altitude orchards before grinding them at cold temperatires just hours after harvest.
 
Spain Food Postcard
 
I`m a fan of Spanish food, although I don`t get to enjoy it as much I would like. The items in this box were all high quality, fresh and tasted great. I particularly enjoyed the crumble cake! Yum! I also enjoyed making a tuna spread with the included tuna. Again, absolutely DELICIOUS!  I love the product card that comes with it to guide you as to what the product is and sometimes it tells you how to use it. The booklet is more in-depth though and includes recipes which is a HUGE help when it comes to cooking everything.  
 
I love this box because it gave me the opportunity to try products I probably would not have otherwise tried,  The box costs $39. The 6-month plan is $35/per box or the yearly subscription is $33/per box. Each box is unique and interesting. While I`m not sure if I think the price is too high or reasonably priced (prices aren`t shown on the information card), I can say I really enjoy the box. I love what it offers and I love trying new things. Also, another thing I love about this company that I discovered after trying my Japan box, is that they DO have a store so I can purchase items I tried in my box. So if you find something you enjoy, you can get more!
 
**Disclaimer Try The World works with artisanal producers from around the world, and therefore each box may be a little bit different. All boxes have a curated assortment of delicious and authentic gourmet products of similar value. When opening your Try The World box, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover different local flavors than the ones I have received! The card included in your box will guide you through your culinary adventure.
