EasyMontali Bio&Vegan is the new product line of ready-made, 100% vegetal sauces developed by lndustrie Montali, a firm from Emilia–Romagna with more than 100 years-experience in the processing of tomato and the production of seasonings. A selection of ready-made products for both retail and Ho.Re.Ca and made up of 5 different SKUs, realized with organic ingredients and free from preservatives, colorants and antioxidants. By looking at labels, one can easily notice that these products are in line with the market trends, according to which consumers look for foods whose ingredients are healthy, natural and “clean”. It’s the “clean label” era: labels are developed in a way that highlights the use of natural ingredients, healthier and less-processed , and the new EasyMontali products are fully part of this trend. Soy ragu and Pesto con Tofu out, being gluten-free recipes that recall the Italian culinary tradition revisited from a 100%-vegetal point of view: the first is prepared according to the Bolognese traditional recipe, but meat has been replaced with vegetables and restructured soy to develop a vegetal sauce ideal both for pasta and for traditional lasagne. Pesto, instead, brings back to memory the traditional Genoese recipe, but free from cheese: indeed, it’s tofu that provides the right consistency, enriching the sauce even from the protein point of view. There are also more “traditional” SKUs within the Bio&Vegan line: Tomato and basil, Arrabbiata and Napoletana sauce with vegetables. All are VECANOK certified since they meet the straight ethical standards in addition to the quality ones. Moreover, they comply with the market’s demand for food which is healthy but also handy and ready for use. All the suaces are sold in pouches, an innovative packaging involving a lower environmental impact; each pack contains two single-dose, 90g, tear-strip pouches that can be quickly opened. www.industrie-montali.it
