ICELANDIC GLACIER WATER
Discover the exceptional difference of Icelandic Glacial.
Naturally Alkaline
Filtered slowly for 5,000 years through layers of lava rock, Icelandic Glacial possesses a highly desirable and uncommonly high pH of 8.4, making it naturally alkaline.
Exceptionally Pure
Icelandic Glacial possesses a naturally low mineral content (TDS of 62 ppm) that does not crowd the palate with heavy metals, minerals or silica, making it the perfect water for pairing with food and wine. A water so pure, nothing is added or taken away.
Sustainable Source
Icelandic Glacial is sourced from the legendary Ölfus Spring in Iceland, one of the world's largest natural springs. The spring is constantly replenished by gradual filtration of abundant rainfall and snowmelt inherent to Iceland and has been declared sustainable by Zenith International. Of the more than 900,000 cubic meters of water flowing into the ocean everyday, Icelandic Glacial™ bottles less than 0.1% of the overflow into the sea

WHAT DID WE THINK?
So.... our kids love Oat Milk so that was always a great starter. The milkshakes are super tasty and went down a treat as a great tv night treat and we even tried them warm and they tasted great gently warmed too. The oat milk is equally as delicious, however if you are not a fan of creamy tasting coffee or tea this may not be for you but we have to say it makes a deliciously tasting Latte.
We love that these are available through local milk deliveries and you just cant beat the taste from a glass bottle... We were super suprised at the price... honestly expected them to be far more expensive. As such a tasty product in a glass bottle delivered to your door from just £1.49 is an absolute bargain and Oat milk in supermarkets can be far more expensive without the taste and convenience of delivery.

Celebrate Christmas with Italy’s Favourite Panettone and Pandoro
Now Available at ASDA and Ocado
This Christmas, bring a touch of Italian magic to your festivities with Bauli, Italy's favourite brand of Panettone and Pandoro, now available at ASDA and Ocado.
Bauli cakes and biscuits have been part of Italian Christmas celebrations since 1922. Authentically made with the finest ingredients – including an exceptional, aged Mother Yeast – Bauli's delicious flavours and iconic lilac packaging have been at the heart of a century of holiday traditions.
Panettone: A Classic Delight
Bauli's Panettone is a timeless Christmas treat. This sweet, dome-shaped, buttery Italian fruitcake is generously studded with candied citron and raisins. The long fermentation process creates a flavour profile that is rich yet delicate, making it a festive favourite.
Pandoro: The Star of Verona
Bauli Pandoro is an eight-pointed, star-shaped cake from Verona with a luxuriously soft texture and subtle sweetness. Light and fluffy like brioche, Pandoro contains no fruit and is traditionally dusted with icing sugar for an elegant finish. With a buttery flavour and notes of vanilla, it is an irresistible holiday indulgence.
A Legacy of Quality: The Bauli Difference
Bauli has been synonymous with Italian baking excellence since Ruggero Bauli founded the company in 1922. From its humble beginnings in Verona to its modern production facilities today, the Bauli family's passion for baking has never wavered.
This dedication shines through in every product, from the careful selection of ingredients to the meticulous attention to detail in each recipe. Bauli is not only a household name in Italy but also a symbol of the country's rich culinary heritage. It’s no surprise that Bauli is Italy’s market leader for both Pandoro and Panettone*.
The Secret to Bauli’s Flavour
The secret to Bauli’s exceptional taste lies in its naturally fermented sourdough starter, or ‘Mother Yeast’—the special ingredient that has made Bauli’s products unique for over a century. Cared for meticulously every day, Bauli’s Mother Yeast gives its Panettone and Pandoro a unique lightness, thanks to a 40-hour double natural rising process. This results in an incredibly soft and palatable texture, without the use of chemical additives or preservatives.
Premium Ingredients
Bauli’s dedication to excellence is evident in its selection of premium ingredients, chosen to ensure every product delivers superior quality:
• Real Butter: Unlike other brands that use margarine, Bauli insists on using real butter for its rich flavour and creamy texture.
• Candied Fruit: Only the highest quality candied fruit is used, slow-cooked to perfection to preserve its flavour and texture.
• The Mother Yeast: The most precious ingredient in Bauli’s recipes, this sourdough starter has been cherished and nurtured for over 100 years.
Perfect for Christmas Feasts... and Christmas Trees
Bauli Panettone is available in familiar 500g boxes as well as mini 90g packs—perfect for hanging on the Christmas tree! You can also enjoy Bauli Panettone with Pistachio cream or Baileys cream, both available in 500g packs.
Bauli Pandoro is available in 500g and mini 100g packs.
At ASDA, Bauli’s 500g Panettone is priced at £7.00, with the 90g mini packs at £2.50. Bauli’s 500g Pandoro is available for £10.00 at Ocado, and the 100g mini packs are priced at £3.45.
