Because Filippo Berio, the UK's favourite and best loved olive oil brand for well in excess of 40 years, has launched four delicious and authentic pasta sauces to to the UK market.
Filippo Berio has used the finest all-natural ingredients including (of course!) its very own Extra Virgin Olive Oil and naturally sweet Italian tomatoes to create four delicious recipes; Basilico, Arrabbiata, Verdure Grigliate and Olive.
The sauces are also gluten free and are suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets. They are also lactose free and are totally free of preservatives, flavourings or artificial ingredients.
The new sauces are:
Basilico - Fragrant Italian Basil has been added to naturally sweet Italian tomatoes and carefully cooked to create this delicious tomato and basil pasta sauce.
Arrabbiata - with a touch of chilli spiciness, this pasta sauce is an Italian classic - delicious tomatoes with just the right amount of heat.
Olive - This unique sauce uses specially selected ripe olives for an added depth of flavour.
Verdure Grigliate - Packed with flavour and using grilled vegetables like aubergines, peppers and courgette – this sauce brings the taste of the Mediterranean to your kitchen.
Filippo Berio UKs MD, Walter Zanré, said: “When we make our pasta sauces we cook the vegetables before the tomatoes are added. Not at the same time. This two stage cooking method locks in all the flavour so our sauces taste fresh - just like with homemade.”
Available now and priced at £2.50 for a 340g glass jar, you can purchase the sauces from Tesco or via the Filippo Berio online shop.
