Speciality food importer and distributor Empire Bespoke Foods has extended its Mrs Elswood pickled vegetables range with three new mezze products.
The ‘Made for Mezze’ range includes Mrs Elswood Mezze Tomatoes (RRP: £2.50/215g), Mrs Elswood Mezze Turkish Kebab Peppers (RRP: £2/300g) and Mrs Elswood Mezze Flame Roasted Red Peppers (RRP:£2.50/330g).
The range was developed in response to growing consumer demand for Turkish, Greek and Middle Eastern cuisines, said Empire Bespoke Foods, and is set to roll out across independents, convenience and wholesalers from 1 February.
The range is suitable for vegetarians and is packaged in resealable glass jars with “clear labels for high impact and maximum on-shelf appeal”, said Empire Bespoke Foods.
“Mrs Elswood has been pickling and fermenting gherkins for over 75 years – these newly created additions to the Elswood family build on that expertise in preserving delicious vegetables and take them into a new area that consumers want to buy and experiment with”, said Jonathan Hehir, senior innovation manager at Empire Bespoke Foods.
“The vegetables are just so versatile. They are delicious on their own or when boosting other dishes, but they also add flavour and authenticity to traditional Mezze platters when served alongside chargrilled meat and vegetables, breads and dips.
“As more and more people discover Middle Eastern cuisines, we’re confident that the Mrs Elswood ‘Made for Mezze’ range will be a big hit with consumers seeking a way to explore this culinary journey.”
