Iveta Gourmet Wins Best Visual Presentation

I am very pleased with the products we offer you at Ladysfortea.com. We are especially proud of the maker of our gourmet scone mix, Iveta Gourmet Inc,
located in California.

Iveta Gourmet Inc. announced that it received the Best Visual Presentation Award for its booth at the San Francisco International Gift Fair held at the Moscone Center from Feb.17-20.

This company produces twenty six gourmet scone, muffin, and biscuit mixes, one of the largest offerings in the industry. All of the company's products are available in distinctive five-color retail boxes. The company also distributes a line of fine English jams, curds, and clotted cream.

We at Ladysfortea are pleased to carry some of their scone and muffin mixes along with lemon curd and clotted cream. A very delightful combination with our tea.

The Chicago Tribune described Iveta Gourmet scones as "...proper scones that you could serve with pride to company ". The company has been honored twice as a finalist in the Outstanding Baked Goods competition held by the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade, something no other baking mix has achieved and was awarded the $10,000 grand prize at the 2006 America's Best Professional Food Competition in Anaheim, CA. Even Oprah liked them enough to put them on her "O list", a few things she thinks are "just great".

Occasionally, Iveta will send us a recipe using one of their products. Today I would like to share a recipe using their Vanilla Scone Mix. We carry it in "sugar free".
