Eating healthy and taking care of the environment are two very important mottos that I live by each day. That is why I was so excited when Bella Viva Orchards asked me to review their Organic Dried Fruit and Nut Gift Crate this month, and a Giveaway for our readers to WIN one of their own as well.
About Bella Viva Orchards
Bella Viva Orchards produces and sells exceptional fresh and dried fruit, nuts and chocolate to loyal customers at their stands in northern California’s celebrated farmer’s markets, in select restaurants and to their online customers across the country. Since 2006, they have been taking care of the land in San Joaquin Valley and abundantly providing organic fruit for generations to come.
The company, which was named for the family’s daughters, Vivian and Belle, Bella Viva means “beautiful long life” in Italian. The name captures the essence of Bella Viva Orchards and all they aim to provide for their customers. Quality is very important to this company, and you can trust them as they are growing, drying and marketing ALL of their own fruit products.
The Product ~ Organic Dried Fruit and Nut Gift Crate
If you are searching for healthy and environmentally friendly gifts, Bella Viva Orchards is sure you will love the Organic Dried Fruit and Nut Gift Crate (shown above), priced at $49.99. This environmentally friendly gift basket is filled with all organic, sustainably grown dried fruits from our farm in California. It is all packaged in a hand crafted peach-wood box made from an old peach tree from the company’s orchard.
The crate contains 4 different bags of organic fruits & nuts (3.5 lbs):
- 8 oz Organic Yellow Peaches
- 16oz Organic Dried Apricots
- 16oz Organic Thompson Raisins
- 16oz Organic Almonds
BELLA VIVA ORCHARDS REVIEW
What really impressed me about this company and this particular product is how environmentally friendly it is. The crate is an actual fruit box, made from trees that would normally be burned up when disposed of – and the wood was saved to create the most unique organic gift baskets you can find. It truly is a REAL sample of Bella Viva Orchards farm. Without holding this box in your hand, it is difficult to understand its unique aspects – as it was at one time a live tree in the orchards producing exceptional fruit for all to enjoy.
The dried fruit that came inside of the peach wood crate, were so delicious. My family and I had so much fun snacking on the organic yellow peaches, plump raisins, apricots and almonds. I have never tasted organic DRIED fruit as scrumptious as these ones. Normally when you think of dried fruit, you automatically think it will be hard and crunchy; but with this crate, it was the exact opposite. You could still taste the freshness in each bite. Even the texture of the fruit was very pleasing as well.
I would highly recommend every family (organic loving or not) to learn more about Bella Viva Orchards. The dried fruit and nut gift crate I received was very impressive, and I could see it being given as an upcoming Father’s Day gift, used for baking or just a wonderful snack for the entire family to enjoy.
