What's in the box: A monthly selection of Belgian products such as chocolates, cookies and regional specialties.
BELices is an online Belgian grocery store, and the BELices Box is its monthly subscription. Each month it sends a selection of Belgian products to your door, described as artisanal chocolates, cookies and regional specialties. It sometimes gets grouped with olive oil and pantry boxes, but nothing on the site mentions olive oil. This is a Belgian sweets and snacks box. The shop behind it stocks familiar names such as Côte d'Or, Galler, Jules Destrooper, Lotus, Delacre, Graeffe brown sugar, Liège syrup and Belgian sauces like Andalouse, so it clearly knows its niche. The terms are simple: no commitment, and the site says you can cancel at any time at no cost. The site does not state the monthly price, box size or how many items arrive, so check the subscription page before signing up. The store ships worldwide and has an English, French and Dutch site, which makes it practical for Belgian expats abroad. The shop openly says that not everything it sells is made in Belgium, though the box itself is promoted as 100% Belgian. Overall it looks like a sensible, low risk way to get a monthly taste of Belgium. Its main weakness is the lack of detail about what each box includes.
