It’s no wonder that gift boxes have become so popular. You can order one in a flash and have it directly shipped to anyone, practically anywhere. Send a gift for graduation, Father’s Day, Christmas or birthdays, or use a gift box to say thank you or as a hostess or corporate gift.
Taste Trunk sells dozens of different themed gift boxes containing gourmet food and related products. If none of the pre-made trunks strikes your fancy, you can create your own custom trunk and even write your own gift note to go with it.
I selected the Sausage Trunk to try, and its contents were absolutely delicious. It includes several gourmet sausages of different flavors, plus a full-size jar of gourmet mustard. I chose the Sausage Trunk due to my low carb eating style.
Sausage Trunk Contents
In a Sausage Trunk, your recipient gets the following:
- Volpi Pino Grigio Salame, made with fresh pork and all natural ingredients and no nitrites.
- La Quercia Borsellino Salame, which is a milder salami featuring a touch of fennel.
- P.G. Molinari Pepperoni Sausage, which has a nice texture, slices easily and tastes a bit spicy. This was my favorite among the meats in the Sausage Trunk.
- Haus Barhyte Stoneground Sweet Hot Mustard, a German-style mustard that’s great for dipping sausage slices. It would make a fantastic addition to a party meat and cheese tray.
The large sausage trunk also includes Vermont Smoke Summer Sausage and Volpi Chorizo Spanish Style Salame.

Is Taste Trunk Worth It?
Taste Trunk boxes cost about the same as other brands of high-end gourmet food gift boxes, and the box I tried contained extremely tasty foods. In looking through the dozens of different themes, you’re sure to find a box suited to nearly any gift recipient.
The products in each themed trunk seem well thought-out and logically presented. The trunk comes attractively boxed and well packed to prevent shifting or damage to the products.
Taste Trunk gift boxes come in standard and large sizes and cost anywhere from $45 to $89. Both one-time orders and monthly subscriptions are available. I received a sample box for the purpose of this honest review. All opinions are my own.
