Is entrepreneurship in your blood?<\/h2>\r\n

Absolutely. No challenge is too great for us to take on. I see opportunities everywhere. Many entrepreneurs simply sit back and do nothing, but that gets you nowhere. A positive mindset and collaboration with other entrepreneurs and organisations will take you further. Don\u2019t look for problems \u2014 think in solutions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Why VIA VIA?<\/h2>\r\n

When I first heard about the VIA VIA project, my creative mind immediately started turning. What did the Romans enjoy eating? Did they already have sugar? No \u2014 honey. And which herbs did they use? What kind of milk and fruits? After many questions, I finally knew: Via Belgica Romana ice cream.<\/p>","button_group4":null,"foto44":15793,"achtergrondkleur4":"wit","viceversa4":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"foto","carousel":[15745]},{"acf_fc_layout":"tekst_foto2","tekst5":"

And what exactly is \u2018Via Belgica\u2019 ice cream?<\/h2>\r\n

Romans travelling long distances also needed some refreshment from time to time. Think of tired merchants, travellers or soldiers after a long march. I was inspired by ingredients such as honey, ricotta and figs. The creaminess of ricotta, the sweetness of honey and the rich flavour of ripe figs \u2014 absolutely irresistible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Honey from beekeeper De Kevi<\/h2>\r\n

Collaborating with other local entrepreneurs is essential to me. So for the Via Belgica ice cream, it was obvious that I would not use just any honey. The honey from local beekeeper \u201cDe Kevi\u201d is a trusted name in Tongeren. And now also in our Roman ice cream.<\/p>","button_group5":null,"foto5":15785,"achtergrondkleur5":"wit","viceversa5":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"foto","carousel":[15769]},{"acf_fc_layout":"tekstblok","tekst1":"
