SunLive Competition

I made my own ricotta last week, but I have to say, I think I need to leave it to the experts at Clevedon Valley and just pick it up from Bel Mondo next time I feel the need. It sure is a lot easier and tastier.

Clevedon Valley Buffalo is a New Zealand company which makes extremely high quality Italian products. The beauty of Ricotta is its versatility – it can be baked, fried and used in sweet or savoury dishes. It is ideal for pastry fillings or simply drizzled with limencello or a liqueur of your preference. Claudia – the owner of Bel Mondo – tells us her Italian grandfather only ever had his ricotta drizzled with Grappa – the authentic way to use it!

The limencello we had the pleasure of sampling was divinely smooth, refreshing and very addictive – every single limencello tastes different because of the lemons used. The Santa Marta variety we sampled uses lemons from Sicily. A lovely bottle of the Santa Marta Limencello would make a great present. Check out all the rest of the goodies from Bel Mondo on www.belmondo.co.nz and whip up a special meal sometime soon.

If you have a product that you would like me to feature and review please email claire@thesun.co.nz
