Few things are more Valencian than horchata and fartons, a world famous drink that has become the main ingredient in the most beloved Valencian cake Pepina Pastel Pepina Pastel was born in 2019 in a Valencian city by the hand of a mother and a daughter, Pepa and Lara. In her workshop in Alzira, Pepa and her team make artisanal cakes that are shipped to the entire peninsula in 48 hours, made with a mother’s love. Red velvet, carrot cake, hazelnut bonbon, lotus cake… Pepina Pastel’s range of cakes is wide and always adapts to the needs of each customer.
Why is it so special? The cake is made with layers made with fartons, a typical sweet associated with horchata, and with a cream made by hand in the workshop with Valencian horchata. Horchata Day (July 6) is the best time to try this Valencian delicacy.

Cooling down has never been easier with Croft Twist, a unique Fino Spritz that proposes living and feeling in the South this summer. The new campaign, “The South Feels”, captures the essence of Andalusia, its cities, beaches, people and way of life.
Energy, vitality and optimism are some of the elements reflected in this refreshing low-proof drink, with only 5.5º alcohol, made with a masterful mix or blend based on elegant finos and natural ingredients such as elderflower, fresh mint and the citrus aroma of lemon. Brilliant, balanced, soft, refreshing and with fine and light bubbles. The Fino Spritz from the south should be served in a wine glass, with a few blocks of ice and a few mint leaves.
This spirit is reflected in a place where it shows the essence of the south through the journey of a group of friends full of sensuality, hedonism and energy. All accompanied by a soundtrack that transports them, like a hymn, to the moment in which they live, taking advantage of the natural light of this land and showing the truth of its people and places.
It is the brand of personal blenders and glass of the De’Longhi group. Perfect for preparing nutritious cold creams, smoothies, cocktails and granitas this summer. nutribullet.com
