How we went vegan

With the tremendous success of our vegan range, we decided to have a look back at where it all started – with our first vegan flavour that is still the top seller amongst the 3 vegan flavours: Coppa della Maga Coconut & Strawberry sorbet.

Launched in 2016, it was immediately selected at the largest international food show SIAL Paris amongst the most innovative products from around the world.

The amazing thing about this ice cream is not just its vegan side, or the facts it is sugar free, or its health benefits, or its indulgence factor, but rather

Life is greater amongst art and beauty

In our constant quest for beauty and pleasure in everyday life we met Krasen Trojanski. “Fantasy helps me live well,” he said once, and we realized that we’ve met a soul mate.

Krasen works in the field of product design, mostly with porcelain. We particularly enjoyed his wealth of works inspired by contemporary material culture that make his art so accessible to everyone despite the finesse of the craft and its shapes. The union of the two worlds: the one of art and that of the everyday life, makes Krasen’s creations so attractive. Lego cubes, plastic cups, chewing gums, ice cream waffle cones – ordinary objects well known to everyone, recreated from exquisite porcelain in clear and bright colors.

The Food of Gods

Theobroma cacao, which means in Latin ‘Food of the Gods’ has its name for a good reason.

Needles to convince anyone about the feel good benefits of chocolate, the following health enhancing facts might make you reconsider you diet.

Cocoa is rich in iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, copper and manganese. The antioxidants and flavonoids in the cocoa bean have a positive effect on our heart, blood pressure and skin. Flavonoids are said to lower our insulin and cholesterol levels and improve our cognitive function. Some research even connects it to an increase in the metabolism. A study at the University of California found that people who ate chocolate regularly

A magic trick to put your life in order

De cluttering your home could be the catalyst to getting your life on track. It might sound a little farfetched, but it really can have a profound effect on your mental clarity and day to day life.

So we’re going to break down a few of her ingenious methods here just to give you a little idea of how to declutter Kondo style:
