What's inside the BoroughBox?
Expect 8-10 high quality premium items. We received the very first launch box, which included the following items. We have included the RRP price of each item to show the value of the box plus included links to each supplier, allowing you to check out the types of producers that BoroughBox work with : 

Fig Cake from Taste Croatia RRP : £6.99

Croatian fisherman would once use this delicious blend of dried figs and walnuts as an energy source to last throughout the day. Now a delicacy, which can be paired with cheese or treat on its own.
Dr Deborah agrees with the energy source but warns of the high sugar content to be eat in moderation.

Loose Leaf Organic Tea from Organic Life RRP : £4.50

You cannot beat loose leaf tea for a full flavour experience as discussed in our best loose tea featureOrganic Life are truly ethical brand that supply a superb range of delicately flavoured teas, including this fine peppermint infusion.

Clotted Cream Fudge from Whirld RRP : £5 

These are naughty, melt in the mouth, crumbly chunks of handmade fudge with clotted cream.
Justine, John and Alex sell tons of their delicious  clotted cream, sea salt caramel, ginger and vanilla fudge from their stall  on Borough Market.

Pumpkin Seed Oil from Taste Croatia  RRP : £5.50

A nutty tasting oil, which is best served cold drizzled over salads. In addition to the great taste, it is also a rich source of vitamins A, E, B group vitamins, zinc and other minerals.
Andy recommends combining with honey or olive oil for an intense salad dressing.

Pink Himalayan Salt from Spice Mountain RRP : £2.50

A colourful and strong pure salt harvested from the foothills of the Himalayan mountain range.
The intense flavour should allow you to consume less salt as a healthier alternative to your regular table or sea salt.

Assorted Pearls from Artisan Du Chocolat RRP : £6.50

Beautiful and rare, like the cocoa they enclose, these shimmering pearls bring a touch of glitz and glamour enclosed in an exquisite gift wrapped box.
Inside is a collection of Dark, Milk and Praline hand crafted pearl chocolates from the expert chocolatiers at Artisan Du Chocolat, London.

Organic Apple & Beetroot Juice from Chegworth Valley RRP £1.50

Small batched organic apple and beetroot juice, pressed in the gardens of England.
A healthier alternative to regular cordial with lower sugar content, use a splash and top up with water.

Figs in Honey from Taste Croatia RRP : £5.00

An amazing combination of naturally dried figs (68%) preserved in natural flower honey.
Perfect in porridge, on a cheese board or simply poured into hot water with a squeeze of lemon or drizzled over natural yoghurt.

In terms of value, the launch box contained well over £40 worth when including the cost of P&P, which is included into the £34.99 price tag, showing the BoroughBox offers good value. Extra value comes from the convenience of having these hard to find items curated for you based on the expert opinions from Andy and Dr Deb, who are clearly well connected into the London artisan foodie scene.

For a recent startup, BoroughBox offer a well polished, premium service. From the creative artwork on the sturdy box, to the well presented information booklet the attention to detail and the little touches make this feel like a real special treat.
