GOURMET NEWS www.gourmetnews.com n JUNE 2018 n GOURMET NEWS 8 0 Bring Italian Essentials to the Table with Bella Sun Luci Mooney Farms prides its brand on being synonymous with high quality, premium in- gredients. That's why it does everything it can to ensure that the best goes into each and every one of its delicious Mediterranean-in- spired products. This starts with the company's nutrient- rich sun dried tomatoes. Sun dried tomatoes are naturally packed with lycopene, making them a "super food" on their own. Pack them in olive oil, and you have a nutrient-dense duo that compares to few. Olive oil contains no cholesterol, no sodium, no trans fats, no sugars, and is a rich source of monounsatu- rated fat, all of which add up to better health. Bella Sun Luci offers you a double health benefit by having both ingredients in its products. When growing and processing its olives and tomatoes, quality standards are main- tained and exceeded by the Mooney family's participation. One hundred percent of its focus is on both the sun dried tomatoes and the estate grown Extra Virgin Arbequina Olive Oil, guaranteeing customers a pre- mium, high quality product every time it leaves the production plant. Farmed in the rich and fertile soil of Cali- fornia's Feather River Valley, Bella Sun Luci Extra Virgin Arbequina Olive Oil is grown on the Mooney Family estate. This Spanish varietal, an aromatic, rich and full bodied extra virgin olive oil is pressed within hours of harvest, producing the freshest taste. Mooney Farms struck gold again at the 2017 Yolo County Fair Olive Oil Competition. Mooney Farms Arbe- quina Extra Virgin Olive Oil was awarded a Gold Medal in the Arbequina – Medium Intensity cate- gory. "The California Olive Oil Industry has set high standards for quality olive oil and we are proud to be among the top producers in California. Winning gold in the Arbequina Medium Intensity Category is a real honor for our family," says Mary Mooney, Owner. Whether it's the award-winning olive oil, or the delicious sun dried tomatoes, Mooney Farms and its Bella Sun Luci brand have the market cornered with premium products made with high-quality ingredi- ents.
