November Gratitude: Giving Thanks for Our Bounty and Partnerships!

November Gratitude: Giving Thanks for Our Bounty and Partnerships!

Cozy Fireplace

The days have arrived when we throw on our favorite sweaters at the end of the day, get a nice fire going and look back on this year with gratitude. This year has been filled with heart-warming gatherings with family and friends, watching our family grow, celebrating a bountiful growing season and providing you – our dear partners – a great array of California-grown fruits. We at Bella Viva Orchards are now looking ahead to the holidays. Can you believe it’s already time?

 

We are truly grateful for you, our partners, who propagate the message of “Beautiful Fruit. Beautiful Life.” through your food and beverage brands. Because you look for beautiful fruits to use in your creations, we are energized to continue providing solutions to help meet and exceed your needs.

Part of the way we express our gratitude to you is to bring out our best with every harvest. Now that we’re heading into the holiday season we invite you to give our “Bella Viva Old Fashioned” a try. This recipe comes to us from Dr. Gail S. of Mesa, Arizona, who has used our Certified Organic Dried Oranges and Certified Organic Dried Cherries with great creativity! With the holiday season ahead, think of how you might include these fruits in your own products.

Organic Dried Oranges
Besides making a dangerous but good cocktail, they can be applied to your own business needs. Our snack-worthy vitamin C-packed Certified Organic Dried Oranges and our Certified Organic Dried Lemon Slices both make great garnishes for all kinds of beverages – adult or family-friendly.

Diced, these citrus products make phenomenal tea and baking additions. When used as packaged, they make amazing infusions for recovery beverages, sparkling teas, kombucha and other brews. And when diced, our Certified Organic Dried Cherries will shine in bakery, energy bars, granolas and oatmeal blends.

To make your holiday product development a little easier, now through the end of November, we invite you to enjoy 10 percent off our Certified Organic Dried Oranges and Certified Organic Dried Cherries.

After you return from a day of creating with the Bella Viva Orchards line, kick back in your favorite comfy sweater with that relaxing Old Fashioned! Share the gratitude and enjoy the savings, partners! Happy Thanksgiving to all our Bella Viva family of partners!!
