First Peek! The January 2017 Try The World box is full of Greek goodies!

Try The World calls their product information card a Culture Guide. It is really just chock-full of information about both the culture and the products chosen.

Vasilissa – Pasteli ($4.90)

This is a sesame seed bar that is crunchy like a granola bar and has a hint of honey. It is gluten-free and all natural.

Sweet Magic – Kourambies Biscuits 4.4 oz ($5.40)

This is a “traditional Greek recipe with whole almonds and powdered sugar” that tastes like a shortbread almond cookie. Very sweet and yummy, but ours came all crushed up except for the first couple in the box.

Baking Stories Co. – Breadsticks with Kalamata Olive Paste & Oat Grains 4.23 oz ($4.99)

These are breadsticks made in Crete from extra virgin olive oil, olives, and oat grains. Perfect to dip into the Spicy Pepper Paste (below).

Palirria – Dolmas 7 oz ($5.90)

These are traditional hand wrapped grape leaves stuffed with rice, dill, mint, and onions. Sometimes they are also made from cabbage leaves. They are great as an appetizer or a snack.

Delicious Crete – Rosemary-Infused Olive Oil 3.3 oz ($2.80)

This is olive oil from the island of Crete with aromatic rosemary infused in it. How great is that! Just pour it in a dish and use it to dip fresh bread or as a topping for your salad.

776 Deluxe – Trahana 8 oz ($4.20)

This is a Greek pasta that is tiny little pellets like couscous and used in soups and porridges. These are “sweet” trahanas made with sheep’s milk. I am a pasta lover by nature so I’m looking forward to these new little delights!

Stories of Greek Origins – Tzatziki Spice Mix .8 oz ($5.90)

This is a packet of spices to make the traditional Greek yogurt dip that you find on your gyro when you go to a Greek restaurant. Just add yogurt and top with olive oil.

The retail value of the Greek food items in the January 2017 Try The World box came in at  $39.99. All but one of the prices came from the Try The World website. This was a great box to taste the Greek culture in food, similar to the Italian box I received last month. I was a little sad that my cookies were crushed but they still taste great! I plan to buy some Pita bread and something to make gyros out of so I can fix a traditional Greek dinner for the hubby one night with my dolmas, Tzatziki sauce, olive oil, and all the rest!
