Both companies flash-freeze their products atoptimal freshness, which is another tastable difference!

Everything in myButcherBoxorder was so fresh and flavorful.

The pork was moist and flavorful, the salmon was delicious, and the chicken nuggets surpassed my expectations.

The steak was notquiteas good as theGood Chopcut, but I might have overcooked it.

Both shipments arrived on time and intact.
