It’s finally starting to feel like summer, and Sainsbury’s is bringing the heat with its Taste the Difference Summer Edition launch.

This range is all about Mediterranean flavours and smoky foods designed for cooking on flames, with new items like spiced gigante bean tapas, pork chops with nduja butter and whipped feta salads. But there’s always room for dessert with new lemon illusion tarts. 

“Say goodbye to sad bangers and soggy salads at your summer BBQ, this season we’re levelling up,” says Claire Hughes, Sainsbury’s director of product and innovation
