This month the box features products inspired by the sea! (AKA sea salt, fish etc).
Each box comes with a fold out card detailing each of the producers behind the food included and where they come from.
HalfPops Butter & Pure Ocean Sea Salt - Value $4.29
White Whale Cocktails The Filthy Liar - Value $10
Both these items will be a hit with my husband. He loves HalfPops, and The Filthy Liar is a cocktail mix for gin - his liquor of choice. (I will have to try this cocktail mix too - I like that it's made with natural and organic ingredients!)
Coop's MicroCreamery Hot Fudge - Value $11
Liddabit Sweets Sea Salt Caramels - Value $8
OK - this is officially the most delicious packaging I've ever seen. I couldn't help myself and had to smell the melted wax on this jar of fudge, and it turns out my instincts were right - the wax is even chocolate scented! I can't eat it unfortunately because it's made with dairy (or fortunately because I'm sure I would eat the entire thing), but I discovered that they also make a vegan version!
Island Trollers Wild Pacific Albacore - Value $8
Bar Harbor New England Style Clam Chowder - Value $4
I received a different brand of Clam Chowder in another Mantry from a while ago I believe and gave it to my brother since he's a big Clam Chowder fan - looks like he's getting more this month!
Verdict: This box has a value of about $46 - I think it's the lowest value I've seen for an Mantry box. (It's typically always less than the $75 price point, but not by that much). I think it's OK for the value to not be really high for this box since it's more about the curation and presentation, but I would have liked it to be a little higher. As always, I do really like the curation - they do find the best brands of every food category!
What do you think of the June Mantry box?
