DaVinci Gourmet Sauces....their carton size has changed to 3 x 2ltr bottles, I know this will work well for some of our smaller customers.  Don't forget DaVinci Gourmet have 32 syrup flavours on offer.  Frappease base is an amazing price, well worth a look - 8 x 1.5kg bags to a carton. 

Did you know frappease base can be used in a Slushie Machine? Nice way to serve Iced Coffee and Iced Chocolate.

DaVinci Gourmet have recently changed some of the smoothie bottle sizes, we should have pumps available for these next week.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

• Did you know the more you buy the cheaper it gets a 5% discount and more?
• Did you know DaVinci Gourmet have a number of recipes on-line?
