Bellavita Showcase the Best of Italy in London

Posted on by

Bellavita are set on bringing the best of Italian food and drink across the globe. Being the ambassadors of Italian Excellence, their expo is designed for traders to try out their best exports and see if they fit into the UK market. We went to their annual expo held in London to see what is traders are dying to supply the UK market and we picked our top brands to look out for;

Cipriani – With their iconic blue packaging and their notorious chain of restaurants including the famous Harry’s Bar in Venice, Cipriani are set on bringing out their famous Bellini Bottled and available to buy on the UK market.

Cà Rovere – Italian Sparkling Wine – Currently not no the UK market, Cà Rovere winery explain that despite being made in a Prosecco region they are an Italian Sparkling Wine made in the same way Champagne is produced with Chardonnay grapes. This was probably one of the most satisfying and luxurious products we tried at Bellavita Expo and we hope that it is available very soon. Despite this, you can still visit the winery if you happen to be in the Vicenza region.

La Gioiosa – This brand are already making a mark in all good UK retailers. One of Italy’s leading producers of Prosecco, La Gioiosa are set to introduce their Superior edition without added sulphites. This will join a very small range of Organic Prosecco currently available in the UK.

Bellavita are committed to bringing you the best and if you can’t wait to see the best of Italy, check out the Bellavita shop online bellavitashop.co.uk

Last Minute Ideas to Celebrate Romance

Posted on by

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner we thought you might appreciate our romantically themed idea’s list without the added Teddy Bears, chocolates or Champagne.

Novel Beauty-Clever Skincare and Cosmetics

This week, we had the pleasure of meeting the talented founder behind Novel Beauty. The idea behind Novel Beauty was to create skincare products for Men & Women which ‘reads you’. Nneka, the brains behind Novel Beauty explains she wanted to create a product which responded to each person individually and the way Novel Beauty have achieved this is by using active natural ingredients that respond to your body as an individual. In keeping with their brand message of letting their products read you, the luxurious, all-natural range are encased in a luxurious refillable book which are designed to fit in to anyones home proudly and elegantly.

With both gifts for Men and Women, Nneka herself recommends the romantically themed Poor Man’s Rose bath and body set;

Poor Man's Rose Bath & Body Set

This collection includes Stream of Consciousness, a raw sugar scrub which polishes and conditions the skin and Platonic Dialogue, a daylight cream with the vitamins of Aloe Vera, seaweed, sesame, apricot and the romantic geranium rose oil.

Novel Beauty is available through www.novelskincare.co.uk and through notonthehighstreet.com

The Bellavita Valentine’s Day Hamper

Because we all know the way to a loved one’s stomach is through food. Italian food heroes Bellavita are encouraging us to spend Valentine’s day the Italian way with a Valentine’s selection which is designed to bring a touch of Italian romance to your evening. Bellavita have designed their hamper with the idea of taking the stress out of creating a romantic meal for two. The ingredients, which are sourced from independent Italian producers are enough to prepare a three-course meal for two with a recipe card included. Ok so it wouldn’t really be a Valentine’s meal without the addition of bubble and chocolates but at £39 for the entire hamper, we think that we’ll skip the reservations and rustle up our own Italian feast courtesy of Bellavita.

The hampers can be purchased both online and in store:
