Organic Gift Basket 6lbs.

All the relatives who received these packages seemed to be very pleased. I thought the gifts were a good value from a good company. The one thing I would have changed was that I was not advised about the need to include our family's name as a sender, so the families (4) all wondered for awhile who had sent them! PS: I bought organic dehydrated persimmons last year at about this time. Found some packages the other day in my storage and reconstituted about 1/4 package in water. This is what I made from them, using 1 pkg Krusteaz pumpkin bread mix, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup veg. oil, 1 cup milk, 3/4 cup fresh apple pieces cut up (no skin); and 3/4 cup cooked carrot pieces, diced: I cut up the persimmons and left their skins on. Stirred everything together, popped into some small loaf pans which had been slightly oiled to prevent sticking. Baked at 350 degrees until the bread felt firm on top. Took out of oven to cool, then made icing from I cube of softened butter, about 1/4 cup water, vanilla (according to your taste), and enough powdered sugar to make the mixture firm, but soft enough to cover the tops of the cooled little loaves of fruity pumpkin bread. Sprinkled with chopped nuts. Absolutely delicious!!!!

We are longtime fans of Bella Viva Orchards organic fruits and nuts and we love giving them as presents. This is a beautifully packed box and makes for a gorgeous and much loved gift!

Sent this as a gift. Recipient liked it.

I worked at an organic foods distributor buying dried fruit and nuts, so I had the opportunity to sample hundreds of dried fruits for my work. Bella Viva is the best dried fruit I have ever had. The quality, taste, and color of this fruit is nothing like what you can buy in a grocery store. It is the highest quality dried fruit I have ever tasted or seen. Anyone receiving this gift will taste the quality and care this family puts into their products. I can't recommend this company more highly.

excellent product... good quality! very pleased

I sent this to my parents in Texas as a gift. This is the first time I purchased from this company. My mother called me to tell me that it was the most beautiful package she has ever received. She said she is excited to put it out when visiting family comes to town. She kept raving about how pretty the box was. What I like about this company is the organic option. I will purchase from this company again.
