California Balsamic Mail Order Promotion: Two Free 1.6 oz Samples with purchase

With every order placed through our website we will include two 1.6oz sample bottles of other flavors on our site in your box to try out! Our Truffle oil, dipping, and our powdered cinnamon are excluded and cannot be reccomended. To choose the two flavors yourself just write the names of the two flavors in the order notes box during checkout, otherwise we’ll happily pick the two out for you. Limit one set of promotion freebies per order.

Your order note should be visible on the email you receive after placing your order. If the order notes section there is blank in your email, then it’s blank for us and you need to reply back to that email with the message you had meant to leave so we can add it manually and make sure you get what you wanted. The most common causes of the order note getting “lost” are leaving the checkout page, changing tabs on mobile, refreshing the page, or auto-filling after having typed and your auto-fill deleting the box contents. The safest way to make sure your note stays is to enter it last during checkout, and then immediately proceed to payment.

This special gets mentioned in different communities (Chef AJ Special, Nutmeg Notebook Special, etc) as two free samples with your order, but people often got confused about how the special worked or forgot to write the name of their favorite content creator so we decided to add them to every box regardless of if they were requested or not. This is NOT a different special, so writing different names for this same special will not get you multiple sets of the two freebies. One set of two freebies for every placed order.
