pandoroPandoro: a dream in your mouth

The traditional Italian brand, Bauli, is best known for their Pandoro and Panettone holiday cakes, which are Christmas and New Year’s Eve staples available during the holiday season. We tried Il Pandoro di Verona and really exceeded our expectations! You have to taste it to believe it.

All Bauli products are ready-to-eat and oven baked, Kosher-certified and made with no preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors, and no GMO ingredients. Bauli’s holiday offerings include:

Panettone – Better than your grandma’s fruitcake – the time-honored recipe has a lighter, less-dense texture and is packed with candied citron, lemon zest and raisins (Now available in NEW Minis!)

Pandoro – Traditional Christmas bread of Italy  – a fluffier version of pound cake that can be cut and dusted with powdered sugar to resemble a Christmas tree (Now available in NEW Minis!)

Pandoro di Limonce – Sweet Pandoro loaf infused with a hint of Italian liquor

Mini Pandoro Christmas Tree

Ingredients:

4 each Bauli pandoro, cut into cubes

4 cups whipped cream

2 cups maraschino cherries

2 cups Hazelnut chocolate spread

Mint, for garnish

Powdered sugar, for garnish

 

Method:

Lay out pieces of pandoro in a round fashion and fill the circle with more pandoro. Spread a layer of whipped cream and drizzle with hazelnut spread. Lay another layer of pandoro, but this time smaller than the circle before. Continue this process until all pandoro, cream, and hazelnut spread have been used. On the outside edges of the circles, place cherries in a neat pattern. Place mints practically around tree and dust with powdered sugar.

Nocciolata and Fiordifrutta

Since me and my daughter tried Nocciolata (pronounced no-cho-lata), we felt in love of this organic, better-for-you, high-quality chocolate-hazelnut spread.  We also tried Fiordifrutta (pronounced fyor-dee-froota), an organic, and three-ingredient fruit spread.

From the Altopiano di Asiago, a mountain plateau in Northern Italy (90 miles north of Venice), kids (and adults!) can say “ciao!” to the ordinary PB&J sandwich and  enjoy a delicious sandwich with organic ingredients that are free of GMO’s, preservatives, colors, additives, or artificial sweeteners.

Both ingredients hail from Northern Italy. Nocciolata combines hazelnuts, cocoa and cocoa butter, natural vanilla extract, raw cane sugar, and skimmed milk for a chocolate-hazelnut spread with undeniably superior flavor and smooth, creamy texture. Unlike other brands, which use palm oil, Nocciolata is made with environmentally-responsible cold-pressed sunflower oil. It also contains far less sugar than other brands and is free from hydrogenated fats.

fiordifrutaFiordifrutta simply contains over three pounds of perfectly ripened fruit, organic apple juice, and natural fruit pectin. Thanks to its unique recipe, Fiordifrutta yields 30% fewer calories than most other brands. Also, an exclusive room-temperature production process is used to optimally preserve the nutrients and flavors of the freshly-picked fruit.

Rigoni di Asiago Fiordifrutta is certified USDA organic, non-GMO and STAR-KOSHER. It is gluten-free and is available in stores nationwide and online in 250g (8.82-ounce) and 270g (9.17-ounce) glass jars. For more information, please visit https://rigonidiasiago-usa.com/.

 

Products for Moms and child

 

water wipesWater wipes

If you have a baby, you want the best for his or her skin at all times. La Familia received samples of WaterWipes and share them with some moms. These were the comments:

“The wipes worked well, although they are different from the regular ones, the baby seems comfortable and I am happy that is a more natural product”, said Gina Rodríguez.

The company claims that are “the world’s purest baby wipes, an ideal companion for Moms on the move, providing them with wipes that are as gentle on delicate skin as pure water. The 10-count travel size tucks nicely into a purse, while the 60-count pack fits easily into a diaper bag or backpack – both resulting in a hija de Ginagreat Mom resource during this busy time of year”.

  • The only ingredients used in WaterWipes are 99.9% purified water and 0.1% grapefruit seed extract … and that’s it.
  • They can help avoid diaper rash.
  • Manufactured in Ireland, WaterWipes have been widely used for years in Ireland and the United Kingdom, and have become an award-winning choice for Irish and UK Moms looking for all-natural baby wipes.
  • Now, WaterWipes have become widely available in the United States, and U.S. Moms can find them at Babies R Us, Target, Walgreens, Duane Read, Stop and Shop, Giant, Meijer, Amazon and local chains.
