SEMPRE SPECIALE!
Our authentic Italian biscotti, hand-poured butter toffee, and old-fashioned cookies and brownies are made with love and attention, one batch at a time, using only the best ingredients and no added preservatives.
Hello to all you amazing Bella’s Fans! I’m Deanna “Bella”cicco, owner of Bella’s Home-Baked Goods. I’ve met many of you over the course of our 22 plus years in business at various festivals, craft fairs, and events. Creating this business has been a very fulfilling venture. It all started in my grandmother’s kitchen with Bella’s first product, her Anise biscotti. I feel blessed to have met so many of you and grown this business to where it is today. Thanks to you, our loyal customers and fans! A lot of you have heard me say, more than once, that this couldn’t be done without you, our amazing customers, and the best employees in the Hudson Valley!
There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes at Bella’s that make us successful, aside from having the best biscotti! My loyal, hard-working staff plays a huge role in this small business. I am continually asked at events if I bake this all myself and the answer is a resounding “NO”. It wouldn’t be possible! Our products are lovingly produced by Pat, Paola and Val, sent on down the line to Karina, Beth, and Trevor who cut and package them for you. Danielle, my right hand, oversees the day to day operations at Bella’s and does a lot of behind the scenes work and helps to manage our website. If you happen to call Bella’s you will get me or Danielle on the phone too! You can meet me, Danielle, sometimes my grown children, and other friends and family members at Bella’s Annual Holiday Open House and some local fairs and festivals that we participate in.
I like to say we are a small business that produces lots and lots of biscotti and yummy treats! We proudly supply our products to hundreds of retailers throughout the tri-state area by hand-delivery, shipments or through our distributors and brokers. When Bella’s Home-Baked Goods was established in 2002, I never dreamed of it taking off like it has. So many have helped us along the way – too many to name. They are the reason you all receive your biscotti, butter toffee, cookies, bars, and brownies at your favorite retailer, by mail order, or at local fairs and festivals. Next time you see them, thank them for an incredible job well done!
Sempre Speciale!
