The square spice jars with bamboo lids from VonBueren are an elegant and practical way to organise your kitchen and take it to the next level visually. The 24 small, attractively designed spice jars offer everything you need to uniformly decant and label different spices. Both pre-printed and unprinted labels in black and white are included so that they can be perfectly customised to match the kitchen design. In addition, the set includes three different dispensing attachments (24 pieces each) and a cleaning brush. The versatility of the jars is particularly noteworthy: they can not only be used for spices, but are also ideal for crafting or as a universal storage solution. These features are what make the product so impressive.

Packaging and contents
Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The product arrived for our test in a neutral shipping box, which was in perfect condition and easy to open. Inside the box was the very extensive product set. The 24 jars were very well protected by several sheets of foam and were completely intact. The set also contained a stainless steel filling funnel, a white pen, a brush, black and white stickers (round and square, labelled and unlabelled) for labelling and 72 sprinkling inserts. All components were complete and in perfect condition. German instructions were also included. The product set made a very positive first impression.

The tightness of the bamboo lid of the square spice jars from VonBueren is excellent, as no water could be detected leaking from the jars, which indicates that the jars are very tight. The grip of the lid is also impressive: the lid is very easy to grip and handle under all tested conditions.
However, there is a small weakness in the stackability of the glasses. When stacked on top of each other, the glasses are slightly unstable when shaken. Cleaning is straightforward, as soiling can be completely removed without any effort. The brush supplied is very suitable for cleaning. The glass is also highly odourless. There was no perceptible odour on the outside of the jar, which has a very positive effect on the aroma and shelf life of the spices.
