With the popularity of Italian Food growing by 7% year on year in the UK1 and with 17% of consumers choosing Italian as they perceive it to be something special2, caterers need to ensure they offer exciting dishes to meet demand.
Building on its success as the number 1 brand of dry rice in UK retail, and dry and frozen rice in foodservice3, Tilda has launched a new range of frozen Risottos perfect for any establishment looking to offer authentic Mediterranean flavours that taste as good as freshly made, but are easy to prepare under consistent time pressures.
The Tilda frozen Risotto range is available in three authentic Italian flavours – Primavera, Chicken & Asparagus and Sicilian Lemon, Chicken & Thyme – all hand made by chefs for chefs.
Produced with the highest quality, natural ingredients, and containing no artificial flavours or colours, the range makes it even easier for caterers to offer a varied choice, which can also be easily personalised with imaginative garnishes, such as featuring extra vegetables, or simply a sprinkling of parmesan or fresh basil.
The new range is supplied in 400g portions in snap lid trays that can be available from freezer to plate in just five minutes with a catering microwave (1900W), making it suitable for even the busiest caterers.
Mark Lyddy, Tilda’s development and marketing controller, says “Risotto rice has experienced a 21% growth in retail sales4. Tilda is an expert on rice and these new products use only premium quality grains combined with cream and cheese for a more luxurious product.
Lyddy continues, “With the increasing number of non-traditional Italian restaurants wanting to offer quality Mediterranean dishes, there is undoubtedly a demand for an authentic, easy-to-cook Risotto range.
He concludes, “These products give caterers who neither have the time or skill level to make Risotto from scratch, the opportunity to offer the consumers a product that looks and tastes like it’s been freshly made and that can command a premium price as a superior menu option.”
