SAN REMO LAUNCHES GNOCCHI RANGE
San Remo is adding gnocchi to its ready pasta portfolio, creating both a traditional and gluten free variety of the Italian dumpling-style pasta.
San Remo recognised gnocchi is often a pasta that can be “an art form to create from scratch at home” and developed its ready-made range with a preparation time of two minutes.
“We’re excited to launch our shelf-stable gnocchi range, providing something a little bit different to our portfolio of pasta products,” said San Remo chief marketing officer Erik de Roos.
“Gnocchi has historically been a niche product appealing primarily to Australians with Italian heritage but it’s becoming increasingly popular in all households.
“This range underwent significant research and development resulting in this delicious, fluffy dumpling that can be partnered with a fresh, simple sauce or dressed up for a more adventurous meal.”
The San Remo gnocchi range will be available in supermarkets this month and has a RRP of $2.99 for the traditional range and RRP$5.50 for the gluten free variety.

Almo founder Linda Monique said: “At Almo, we focus on simplicity. Our clean ingredients, labels and local manufacturing processes are a representation of what we stand for as a brand. For us it’s about health, environment and quality over profit. We believe that products can be functional, delicious and sustainable, while also packing a nutritious punch.
Almo Crème forms the base of the unsweetened Almo Milk and is vegan, gluten and dairy free, high in protein and vitamin E, and has no added sugar salt. It has a 12-month shelf life and has a RRP of $15.00.
