The Grocer’s New Product & Packaging Awards 2023: Cooking Sauces & Meal Kits

Champion: Filippo Berio Olive Pasta Sauce

Building on the success of its pestos, Filippo Berio’s range of pasta sauces launched last December. While the Basilico and Vegetable variants received plaudits in this category, the undoubted champion was the Olive pasta sauce. The judging panel felt it delivered on authentic ingredients and quality – and above all, taste – for cooks who are short on time. ”The addition of olives elevates the tomato base, and is perfectly balanced to provide a very tasty option,” said one. Attention and praise was also given to the smart-looking packaging.
