Greek and Mediterranean fine food producer, Odysea, is expanding into the chilled ready-meal category, with the launch of three new linguine dishes: Odysea Linguine with Tomato, Spinach & Feta, Odysea Linguine with Ragu Alla Bolognese and Odysea Linguine All’Amatriciana.
Developed to deliver convenience without compromising on taste and quality, the new ready-meal range has been developed using traditional Mediterranean recipes and cooking techniques, with ingredients including Greek tomatoes, authentic Greek Feta and Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) (the only oil used across the recipes).
The ready-meals use High Pressure Processing (HPP), which removes harmful microorganisms after the product has been sealed in its final packaging. This helps maintain the taste, texture, and quality of the meals while supporting an extended shelf life, without the use of preservatives. Odysea’s use of HPP technology reflects a differentiation to the UK market, where traditional cooking joins modern technology to provide consumers with the closest experience of a freshly cooked meal.
The ready-meals are presented in skin-pack packaging, helping to protect the products during transportation and allowing the ready-meal and its ingredients to be clearly visible. The packaging also supports even reheating and helps retain moisture and flavour.
Panos Manuelides, Odysea founder, said: “Odysea has always focused on bringing quality Greek and Mediterranean food to its consumers. With our first foray into the ready-meal category, we’ve made sure we apply the same long-standing ethos of the brand, so we’re thrilled to have these delicious dishes available to UK consumers in Sainsbury’s this September.”
