Try The World: Gifts Of Finest Foods Curated Globally – The Holiday Box
“At Try The World, we believe that life is too short to not try everything that’s out in the world. So we created the first subscription program to discover the best gourmet food and cultural finds from across the globe, delivered to your door!” Kat and David Owners,Try The World
Have you ever fantasized about having breakfast in Paris, a midday meal and siesta treats in Firenze, dinner in Brazil, or even an exquisite evening of food tasting at a Moroccan souk or outdoor market? Have you imagined chocolate liqueurs on a Gondola in Venice or in some other divine location? Now you can enjoy them without leaving home. Try The World will help you travel the world through fabulous, authentic, gourmet foods made with locally sourced ingredients, and selected by celebrity chefs, artisans, small specialty farmers, and keen world travelers! From the comfort of your home, you will experience the best foods and treats from top chefs and food artisans around the world.
Every two months, a sea-foam/sea-breeze green box of delectable foods, spices, treats and more will be delivered to your doorstep. Shipping is free. When I connected with the folk at Try The World, I was excited because I’ve always believed that travel stretches our minds and exposes us to foods, lifestyles, and cultures around the world. My upbringing on three continents and my travels, alone and with my family, have left me with indelible memories and friends around the world. So you can imagine my delight in being able to receive and review their Holiday Gift Box.

“I love dessert. I can’t be guilty about it because I have to taste everything. I experiment.” Martha Stewart
When my Holiday Gift box arrived, I was eager to open it and examine the contents. They didn’t disappoint. My beautiful box was tied with a pretty red bow and the contents were packed in festive red confetti. On top of my gourmet food items, they had added a Holiday Culture Guide, and a two-sided postcard detailing the contents of my box. The holiday culture guide had a sweet holiday greeting message from David and Kat, with food and movie tips, and a recipe for brigadeiro (the national truffle of Brazil) that you can make for the season. I was stoked.
My holiday box contained: a sampling of Urbani Tartufi Italian truffle oil and their cioccolatini dark chocolate; two RipVan Amsterdam waffles (one caramel and one cocoa-filled Dutch waffles) and a box of Dorval Premium collection mint dark chocolate sticks; a sweet-smelling bag of Palais Des Thes French teas and a sizable bag of aromatic Provence Epice Herbes de Provence; a box of delicious Annas Swedish Ginger thins/cookies(described as Sweden’s most loved Pepparkaka!) and Favarger’s luxurious Swiss chocolates rounded out my box. Favarger’s is the most famous chocolatier in Geneva and one of the oldest brands of Swiss chocolate. I unpacked my box and sat still inhaling the delicate smells wafting by my nose.
For a moment, I was transported to every one of those locations and sweet memories filled my mind. Rudyard Kipling was right when he said; “The first condition of understanding a foreign country is to smell it.” Those smells stay with us for a lifetime. A phone call interrupted my morning reverie and I was back home in NY. After the call, I got up, went to the kitchen, and made myself a cup of french tea. I served myself a few ginger thins, warmed up a Dutch waffle, cocoa flavor to be exact, and sat back on the sofa lost in the scrumptious treats and tea. Verdict? DIVINE!

The food products they sent look very good and tempting, and you describe them so well! I wonder how much is a box, looks very expensive too, with the descriptions of the products in the box. I think it may be out of my budget. – Fred
OH MY GOSH! Brilliant idea and lovely marketing strategy! Yeah, why not! No more free boxes though Miss Eliz?
Did you say Paris? Or truffles? Count me in 🙂
This sounds like such a great program! 😀
I love your blog! Each time I am going to discover something nice! thanks for sharing
What a neat box! I really like the looks of the holiday box!
I would love to try this. It would be very interesting and different.
This “Holiday Box” seems pretty cool indeed. I wonder if they have it here in my country.
This is such an awesome way to try different products! Thanks for the coupon code!
That would be a great way to sample foods from around the world.
wow! my first time came across Try The World box and i am sold. All the delicacies in the box are so luxury and tempting especially the Favarger Swiss chocolates
I had no idea there were christmas boxes! Oooh I want one.
This is such a nice idea! There’s boxes like these in the Philippines but it’s more of beauty products! I wish they will also have this kind here in our country! It would be fun to receive products that only retailed overseas!
This looks interesting. Too bad my country don’t practice…
Wow, this is a one of a kind box! I’d love to have one.
Wow, I didn’t know there was such a thing like this. I have traveled a bit when I was younger, and I’m always up for trying new things. And of course I just love learning about other cultures. This really sounds like it would fit me perfectly!
My daughter and son in law would love this box as a gift. They are very into food and cooking.
I like the concept! Cheers!
such ana amazing concept; and yes, i’ve certainly fantasised about having breakfast all over the world!
Ohhh those all look like things I would love! What a great gift!
We had beauty box, now we have food box too? Wow, that’s really cool! Haha, I will most probably have fun snacking on them if I get one!
This sounds like a great service and a great gift idea for those hard to shop for. Thanks for sharing.

This is such a great idea. I love when you get a mix of things in boxes like this, it just adds to the surprise.
what a cool service!! I would love to try all of these foods!
This sounds so awesome, I want one too! Is it a worldwide company? Haven’t seen this in SA yet.
I would love something like this. I tried to put my email in for the free box but it wouldn’t let me. THat’s my favorite thing about traveling is trying out all the different kinds of foods!
That’s an interesting concept.. it boxes up a lot of surprise and will be a wonderful Christmas gift. But looks like it’ll be quite expensive too.

Interesting company, thanks for sharing!
that’s an awesome way to gift someone on Christmas as i loved all the products in the gift box and my most favorite one is Urbani Tartufi Italian truffle oil as i have heard of the product but never got a chance to try it.
Wow! I don’t know if it’s how you wrote that makes me glued on the post and really fascinated at the items and how it satisfied you, or I was just wanting to have my own box too? This is great! Is this available worldwide?
For now it is shipped in the USA but there are plans to expand the offers world wide. Glad you enjoyed the post. The items in my box were awesome. TY!
Paris is on my bucket list. I have always wanted to go there. This looks like a great box.
This seems like a very nice way to get to taste world cusines. I love trying new foods, especially sweets!
thats an awesome gift box to give someone on christmas and i loved all the products in the box., My most favorite one is Urbani Tartufi Italian truffle oil which i have heard of but never got a chance to try it.
Thanks for sharing. A Free box would be great as well as the contest. I always love the gift of food anytime of the year and I love giving the gift of food.
These holiday boxes sound pretty neat!!!! Glad I now know about them 🙂
I surely had fantasized about having breakfast in Paris. 🙂 That is great and really interesting. I will check it out.
Awesome! Nice to receive exotic food from around the world. It’s fun to experiment!
ooh this looks so cool. I would love to have a box like that, great idea !
This can really help you do world class dishes. You can also have a lot of variety in terms of food.
very cool idea!
That sounds fantastic Eliz! Envying you those chocolates! Enjoy 🙂
Thank you so much Madhu. Hope all’s well. Wishing you/yours blessings for 2015!
That’s a pretty cool box. I love that it comes with a culture guide. What a great way to learn!
The concept of Trying the World flavors is one of a kind, at least I have never heard about such an ingenious idea before. Travelling to different locations in my imagination while sensing the chocolate delights and the other gourmet temptations melting in my mouth seems amazing!
Yum. I always like trying new foods. I am very daring when it comes to new flavors.
I’m going to have to sign up. It is just SO fun to get a box each month.
Sounds exciting. I love trying out new things.
I love the idea of curating food like the ones you have here! It is nice to be able to personalize especially edibles 🙂
Wow…this is too cool! Imagine all those foods, dang nab it…I wish this offer was a little bit later in the month. A kids bday, Xmas presents and two trucks that need tags this month. I’m simply broke when it comes to checking out stuff I want. I really am interested though 🙂
These are so awesome.I would be so excited before each package arrived!
Well that quote by Michael Palin resonates with me, lol. Truer words have never been spoken. 30% off is a very tempting reason to give it a try!
What a fun and delicious looking box! I wish it came to Canada I could see myself sending this to a few people over the holidays!
wow! So lucky! Wish i can have something like this. Can’t wait for it to be available here too!
Oh this is super cool! I was born and raised in Europe and spent most of my life living abroad so it should be like a taste of home!
I like how you started the post with a very apt quote from Tolkien. And the idea of the box is amazing too!!
This is awesome! I never get the chance to travel out of the country so this box is made for someone like me!
This sounds like a great box. I would be excited the way it arrived as well with the red bow and everything.
Get the second box as free? That’s great. But too bad it is only in USA. Hope it can be shipped to Malaysia.
That is such a great concept. I would love to receive delicacies from across the world. I wished the shipped world wide 😀
That box looks amazing – it has all of my favorites!
I would love to have one of that 🙂 I hope we have that kind of subscription boxes in the Philippines.
omg this looks amazing! Too bad it doesn’t ship worldwide 🙁 would love to try it out
I’m very much fond of eating lately and this sounds awesome….food in a box. More people will patronize this endeavor worldwide.
That sounds like a great box! We travel but usually locally so this would be nice to learn more about different places.
i love trying different foods from all over the world, which is why i like to go to world market…they have food, coffee, etc from all over the world. too bad when you travel that you cant bring food back like you used to, when i traveled overseas i always wanted to bring food back that i could not find in the us…as well as other items like perfume, clothes, etc.
This looks interesting, I’ve always been hesitant when signing up for any type of subscriptions, but i’m tempted! I definitely love to cook and would love to try foods from different cultures.
This is really great !i could use a few of these haha
I love this idea. Foods from all over the world.wow. I would love to receive this as a gift. Hello…Santa
This sounds like the coolest subscription box I’ve seen. I’ve always wanted to travel but it hasn’t been in the cards for me I guess. I would love to get a taste and feel for places around the world!
I enjoy learning about other cultures and trying new things. This seems like something I would really like!
What a fun food box! I have never been to Paris but would love to try the food that I hear about. I love the Christmas theme of this box.
I love trying new foods, these all look so good and interesting
You can never go wrong with food. Which makes this subscription box the best one! xx corinne
These really do sounds like a lovely way to ‘taste the world’ I wish they had these in the UK!
I feel like I am beginning to repeat myself but this box looks just as fantastic as the ones you’ve shown previously! I am loving the look of the dark chocolate. This box really has a little something for everyone in it 😀
This is so cool! I would love to Try the World every month because I love to explore culture and foods from around the world.
