Lactose Free Pesto should be available to all!
With an increasing rate of those with special dietary needs, especially children whom need to be encouraged to eat a wide range of foods, it is becoming more necessary to offer products that meet these requirements, whilst maintaining flavour and quality.
Here at The Food Resource we pride ourselves on recognising these gaps in the market, sourcing merchandise and making it accessible to the public.
This is where lactose-free pesto sauce fits in! Not only is it made without cheese, and therefore suitable for those intolerant to lactose but it is also made from fresh, non-pasteurised ingredients.
The company who have created this wonderful pesto have products sold throughout the Italian supermarkets and are looking to share their recipes with the world! They have been leading production of pesto and sauces since the 70’s and with the new editions of Francesco’s Pesto with Tartufo (Truffle) or with Pistachio, they are widening the choices. They pride their pesto on its basil: Basil Genovese D.O.P, which is harvested while the leaves are still small, retaining their aroma created by the beautifully climatic region of its origin. The combination of the finest Genoese Basil D.O.P and the freshest ingredients makes this a ‘must-have’ buy for those pasta lovers.

Italian Prosciutto with reduced sodium
New to the UK Market
Specialising in top quality Prosciutto, this Italian family business are pleased to announce their healthy prosciutto with reduced sodium (EU patented). Recently launched across Italy as a favoured healthier prosciutto by a large supermarket chain and many other smaller retail outlets, some with private label, this prosciutto is proving popular and tasty.
Their latest innovation is a prosciutto with a reduced quantity of sodium enriched with Potassium. Using the same high quality raw material as their Prosciutto range, they are now producing a prosciutto with around 30% less sodium than the average Italian Ham.
It is known that a low sodium diet is necessary to prevent cardiovascular diseases, protect health, control blood pressure and protect the kidneys. Whilst potassium is considered necessary to support muscle growth, it activates enzymes to produce energy our body needs to correctly utilise proteins. The taste is mild and delicate.
As prosciutto specialists, selecting the raw material with care, they use a restricted number of farms where they control genetic and food. Animal welfare is of utmost importance. Their prosciutto is considered to be the sweetest and most fragrant in the entire prosciutto production (Consortium’s data).
They are the biggest exporters of Parma prosciutto in the US and Japan and are now looking to export to the UK market. ISO, BRC and IFS certifications.
