I love this grain free cereal. It has a generous amount of an assortment of nutritional nuts and seeds, however I find the dried apricot pieces to be incredibly hard to chew on. I have resorted to fishing them out for fear of breaking a tooth.

I ordered some international boxes for my niece and nephew for Christmas. My computer auto filled the address and (my mistake) pushed send before it double checked the address. I immediately (literally within minutes) asked if the address could be adjusted. I was told that it was already in process and nothing could be done without a return. It was sent to a former address we have no contact with anymore. Of course no one is going to return what appears to be a gift. We completely lost that money and ended up having to purchase another gift to replace it. Overall, I'm very disappointed. It's surprising that every other company I've ever used will adjust an address; especially if questioned within minutes of the order. It is bad business practices to not try to be accommodating to customers. The gift would have been a fun addition to the holiday but unfortunately we won't know and will not be using their services in the future.

Highly frustrating (deceptive) IT/pricing problems; pattern of suspicious marketing; evasive customer service; sugar seems much higher (on a clinical basis) than indicated and nutrition label is additionally not consistent with US standards. Disappointing dark-chocolate quality. Additional butter required (and makes a significant difference in the flavor), despite the DIY kit marketed as everything needed being in kit. The one time that customer service (then-seemingly impressively) quickly responded in a (then-seemingly) professional manner was when I asked about possible peanut cross-contamination; Debbie(?) indicated there was no cross-contamination concerns for peanut, BUT in reading the label on their chocolate wafer pkg and researching their shared factory equipment, peanut and other allergen cross-contamination is a stated concern. (My still-alive guests have anaphylactic risks.)

Was repeatedly offered discounts, but repeatedly these discounts didn't go through; customer service spotty offers to remedy were wrought with time-consuming problems. At first, I thought this was due to poor IT--but now I wonder if it was just poor business practices (at best). Ceres Dubai products are expensive, overpriced given quality shortcomings.

Using critical thinking, if you investigate Ceres reviews on Ceres, you'll notice a long list of suspicious patterns highly consistent with cherry-picking, self-aggrandizing edits, and apparent inability to post a less flattering review, not even a 3-star review in my experience (which is why this review is now 2-star). Their self-reported overall 4.8-stars is not consistent with many reviews from other sites. Maybe Ceres products greatly vary??

Butter required to lightly toast shredded kataifi in a pan. So not everything that you need is in the kit. The fresh butter made the toasted kataifi EXTRA delicious. When added to the pistachio cream, it's incredibly yummy. But BEWARE OF SUGAR CONTENT! Eating about six TBSP (3/8 cup), at most, of this mixture on fairly empty stomach made me quickly extremely sleepy (I'm NOT diabetic, nor pre-diabetic now, but I'm older so my insulin resistance is no longer as resilient, so I keep my sugar intake very low; I have a strong medical background and my clinical assess is always consistent with my A1C bloodwork). I did some research about the 41.1g (41,1 g) of added sugar in the 3.5oz (1/2 cup) of cream required to make a batch. Taking everything into account (kataifi simple carbs, 82g of added sugar in an entire jar of cream, the taste, my insulin response), I have questions about the indicated sugar content. (US % daily value for several yrs differs greatly re: Ceres label indicating 41.1g is 45.67%, which translates to 90g of sugar/day!; whereas, in US, 41.1g is at least 82% of recommended daily limit if 50g, though most academic health experts recommend 10-25g or less of added daily sugar.)

The dark chocolate was waxy, the type often required with high saturated (and questionably trans) fat for at-home melting and dipping (fruits, etc). But looks beautiful when pops out of the mold! So, I dug up the label and compared to quality grocery store chocolate chip mfrs; Ceres lists sugar first, hydrogenated vegetable oil second, so makes sense about the remarkably subpar taste. Yummy if you love highly-hydrogenated fat. The listed Total Fat and Saturated Fat makes virtually no sense, such that what Ceres lists as 18.5% Saturated Fat for 100g (dark choc) translates to 100% in the US; and the Total Fat Ceres lists makes even less sense! (I purchased other brands of melting chocolate wafers that taste higher- quality than Ceres; I'm familiar with those labels, which makes more "nutritional" sense.) No guests said this Ceres chocolate tastes good. I don’t care for taste, 2-star.

I ordered over $75 of DIY kits for fun holiday project for young adults. Couldn't get $10-off offer repeatedly indicated, despite trying for over a month. Reached out to Ceres CS multiple times, which involve time-consuming, additional problems, and in the end, just threw in the towel and paid more than the price offered. Arrived significantly later than promised.

I'm way too busy to write this review. I try to give a benefit of a doubt and support small businesses. But I feel obligated to warn others for ethical and medical reasons. Might be more issues than I listed, but you get the idea. Five of us (three sweets-loving young adults and two in 60's) opted to NOT eat more than one little square of finished product. One remaining was going to make with pals on a weekend trip opted against after tasting. If it weren't such busy holidays, maybe I would've had time to avert this disaster by researching even more above and beyond, sigh.

Delicious fig bars and good customer service

I love how unique some of the candies are and it’s always awesome to try some new things I’ve never seen before!

Company never shipped my birthday gift order. Contacted on Instagram through email attempted phone call and received no response and no refund.

The curated snack boxes from Ceres Gourmet make for a fantastic gift. The selection is diverse, and the quality is exceptional.

Delicious!!! I ate as many as my 4 year old grandson!

We absolutely love the International Snack Box. The variety and quality is very good for the dollar amount. It is so much fun trying new things with loved ones and watching their reaction

Amazing Delicious orderedas a Christmas gift and everyone else loved the boxes

Great product! Creamy rich chocolate,fantastic orange peel, great texture, just soft enough and clean deep flavor. I will definitely order again.

Ordered one as a Christmas gift loved it so much we ordered a second! Great product and great value. It was so interesting to experience some of the different foods. Totally loved it!

Ordered Alyan's DATESnCHOCO through Amazon.ca in January, 2025. The box from Ceres Gourmet came with 4 packages date with milk chocolate, date with bitter chocolate, date with white chocolate and coconut, and a MIX bag! Absolutely delicious!! Will be ordering these again!

Unique Gift for Someone Who Has Everything!
I'd say this international food box was a really great gift for my 15 year old son. He is pretty hard to shop for. This box was something unique that he can enjoy getting every few months. Great gift for someone who has everything!

Received our box of Dubai chocolates and must say they are some of the best chocolates my wife and I have ever tasted.

We sent some to our grandson and family and his comments were "amazing" and "tastes like heaven".

great selection of snacks and useful information about each item

Our favorite product from the International Snack Box is the Baklava. It was moist and delicious, but there wasn’t enough to properly sample. My husband and I shared this box and the Baklava was extremely hard to share. I would personally remove another item and add an extra Baklava.
Our second favorite was Hosbes (Delicious). Followed by Cocostar, we loved the Mini Cakes and thought it was a cross between American Snowball & Moon pie. In fourth place and the item I will repurchase is Ibon Candy. Highly flavorful, creamy, smooth and mouthwatering. Amazing!
Fifth place, Pizza Crackers (Light in Flavor with a Crispy Texture) followed by Rulokat, Turkish Wafer (Delicate Flakiness with Amazing Crunch), Yupo (Soft texture with yummy Citrus Burst), Balik Kraker (Bad Flavor, Good Texture), Susamli Cubuk Kraker (Perfect Crunch), Cin (Most unique and tasty item), Halley (Flavor d Coconut,but it was not stated in Description), Eski Yuz (Chewy, Sweet, but loses flavor fast), Popios Candy (Great Fizz), Lollipops (Extremely hard to Open, Olips Orange Lemon (Smooth Light Citrus Flavor), Narbar (Tasted like Cough Syrup).
The following products we did not like and could swiped for better products. Probis (Dry, Bitter Thick Paste), Chico Halva (Crumbly and Dry), Halva (Weird, Savory & Crumbly), Kremini (Light Flavor), Rosehip Tea ( Did Not Try), Turkish Coffee (Did Not Drink) & Krispi Spicy (We Don’t like Spice, Didn’t Try.)
The company was very thorough in their informative packet. They even paired snack to complimentary beverages. We highly recommend Ceres Gourmet and would repurchase.

Great quality packaging, im glad there is a big expiration date on the box and individual items. There is a great variety of sweet and savoury snacks. I will definitely order again.

Getting to try such a variety of food items from around the world was really fun!
