About Le Tendenze
Crafting Trends, Distilling Excellence
An Italian dream, made in Serskamp
Le Tendenze is the story of Philippe Berckmoes, an East Flemish entrepreneur from Serskamp (Wichelen, Belgium) with a great love for Italy. “I am in love with the country, the atmosphere, the food and the people.” On a journey, an Italian woman gave him the recipe that became the basis of our Arancino.
The idea of an Italian liqueur of his own came up in 2017. Development started in 2022, the first production ran early in 2024 and Le Tendenze BV was founded in May 2024. Arancino was first presented at the Tavola food fair in Kortrijk, where the reactions were very positive right away.
Craftsmanship, from peel to bottle
We do everything ourselves, with our own machines and tanks. Our liqueurs start from hand-picked, sun-ripened organic oranges from Sicily, peeled in Belgium. The peel and zest go into the liqueur; the pulp goes to makers of orange juice and smoothies, so nothing is wasted.
We use 100% natural ingredients, without artificial flavourings, colourings or preservatives. “Anything with an ‘E’ in front of it doesn’t go in. We want to stay pure.”
Two liqueurs, from day to night
Arancino is sunshine in your glass: an artisanal orange liqueur (30% vol., 50 cl), like limoncello but made with oranges. Perfect as a summer aperitif, neat, on ice or in a spritz.
Mocaccino is its evening counterpart: a velvety, creamy liqueur in which the same organic Sicilian oranges meet Arabica coffee, Belgian chocolate and a touch of hazelnut. Neat, lightly chilled, with espresso or over ice cream and desserts.
Both come in the same, specially designed bottle: day and night, side by side.
Awards
Silver for Arancino
At the World Liqueur Awards 2025, an international competition with liqueurs from Italy, Scotland and Japan among others, Arancino won silver in the Fruit category straight away. The jury tasted “sweet orange, complemented by baked apple notes” and an “excellent mouthfeel, balancing sweetness with a zesty sourness”.
Golden Tavola for Mocaccino
Mocaccino won the Golden Tavola 2026 in the Premium & Pleasure category, for products that make a meal special. An expert jury praised the artisanal liqueur based on organic Sicilian oranges as “a contemporary interpretation of the digestif moment”.
