McVities Jaffa Cakes Triple Pack 30 366g

I saw on the History Channel a segment "Welcome to the Factory" where each segment features a Tour of another Factory in Britain showing how different UK Products are manufactured. A month or so ago, a segment on McVities Jaffa Cakes Desert Treats. These are a huge seller throughout Europe as well as in England. A semi-soft delicious Cookie with a Jaffa Orange (real, not imitation flavored US style) topped with a delicious coating of Premium Chocolate. For those unaware, combining Orange with Chocolate is absolutely insanely delicious . Chocolate Covered Orange Peel Candies, Droste Orange and Chocolate Candy Apple pre-sliced in Wedges wrapped in foil, etc. They arrived in perfect condition from the UK, packed in Cellophane 10 to a pac, a Best Use by Date 2 months forward and near impossible to locate here in US other than perhaps a Speciality British Products Store. Like Mickey told his Brother regarding Life Cereal, "Try It, You`ll Like It". You will very likely be re-ordering, I assure you. Updated Review After contacting Seller the immediately responded and informed me that I incorrectly read the Best Use By Date. 03 08 24 was actually Aug 03 34 (not) Mar 08, 24! My apologies. I was credited the cost of the cakes an will now request to be re-billed.

Love orange jam and this fits my pallet and tastes fantastic not sickly sweet which I like.

This product was old and stale, tasted like they were in storage for a long time. I know what freshness is and these were the exact opposite. The quality was deplorable.

We love these at our house, and since I don't get to London as often as in the past, I had to order them online. They are expensive, but worth it.

Honestly, I am tied between 4 and 5 stars. I love it and just like it at the same time. The chocolate does not have much taste at all, I found it pretty hard to notice. It took a whole cake for me to get a better grasp of its flavor to a tiny degree, but it definitely leaves that dark chocolate after/during taste without the flavor. The Cake itself is not terrible, but its texture some people may not like. It is like holding a dish washing sponge and squeezing it, but imagine it more bread textured and without soap. The orange filling is the most noticeable part, it is a strong tangy flavor that really sets the flavor for the whole cake. It is like a gummy bear is mixed with jello in consistency. I say this because it is a little more solid than jello, but brakes apart really easy still unlike a gummy. You will mainly notice the orange, with a tiny bit of dark chocolate mixed in. You may notice a slight bit of a white cake taste as well. Interesting for sure, and probably something I will get regularly. At least worth a try for most.

The real Jaffa cakes from U.K I just love them

These are delicious! I picked up another brand of Jaffa Cakes at the local grocery store (not naming names, but it comes in an orange box) to try them out, along with some other UK snacks and candies. The Jaffa Cakes were my favorite and I decided I needed to have them in my life more often. I was comparing pricing and noticed the triple pack here was a really good price, so I asked a British friend which brand was best, and McVitie's was his answer. I took a chance on these, and I'm glad I did. It took 7 business days for the package to arrive (I'm in central NY state), which is far sooner than the expected delivery date. Speaking of dates, when I looked at the Best Before date, my brain procesed 05 09 15 as May, when it's really September, so if you think you've had some old cakes delivered, the month is the middle number, not the first one. I agree with my friend that McVitie's are better than the orange box brand. The cake is softer and the chocolate is more pronounced. The orange box kind has a slightly thicker cake, but it isn't as soft, and a thicker orange layer. I like the larger chocolate to orange ratio in McVitie's better, and with the softer cake, the whole experience is more satisfying. I'm going to (try to) pace myself, but even so, I can't see these two boxes of 36 each lasting long.

I have purchased these several times. In the past the three boxes were packaged in one larger, recyclable box yet this time they were in a plastic bag as a set. Also, the flavor is really weird. I can’t tell if it’s the cakey part or the chocolate, but it’s really off. 😝 I won’t be ordering this brand again.

description non conforme!

Prodotto di buona qualità, anche perché è l'originale. Forse il cioccolato di copertura non è il massimo dato che in Italia siamo abituati a molto meglio. Vale la pena provarlo.

Great gift for a friend from the UK

Not the cheapest but a great taste.

good quality, good price
