Vero Gusto sauces channel the taste of Italy
Vero Gusto is looking to shake up the Italian sauce game.
The Northbrook, Ill.-based company, which stems from the Barilla portfolio, launched four varieties of sauces that it says feature special Italian-grown ingredients that have been harvested at its prime.
Containing signature Italian ingredients, the four varieties include:
In addition, Vero Gusto crafts its sauces by first sautéing garlic, onion and extra virgin olive oil together to create a balance of flavors, the company said.
"We are always exploring new ways to bring high-quality Italian ingredients and products to people, and Vero Gusto is a perfect example of that commitment to quality and innovation," Jean-Pierre Comte, the president of Barilla Americas said. "Vero Gusto sauces provide people with a 'true taste' of Italy in their own kitchens."
Each sauce is made with Italy-grown tomatoes and does not contain added water or paste. The products are Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, kosher, and do not have artificial ingredients or preservatives.
Vero Gusto sauces retail for $5.99 each and can be found at Amazon and select coastal retailers. Plans for a gradual national distribution over the next two years include ShopRite, Publix, Safeway/Albertsons, Acme, Kroger, Stop & Shop and Giant, the company said.
