Hey Pesto!

UNITED KINGDOM - 2023

Vegan seed-based pesto’s in the 2 flavour combinations of Parsley, Lemon and Garlic and Chipotle Red Pepper and Tomato. They can be enjoyed in lots of eating styles and are also allergen and lactose free.

We are making vegan, Super Seed Pesto’s which will enter the ambient condiment and sauce market. Our primary flavour combination is a Fresh and Zesty Parsley, Lemon and Garlic Pesto which can be enjoyed in a range of eating styles including as a dip, spread, marinade or sauce. We have also developed a Smoky and Sweet Chipotle Red Pepper and Tomato Pesto which we hope will stand out in the red pesto ambient market. Our super seed base is made from pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds and provides a nutritious, allergen free alternative to the standard pesto recipe. Our flavour launches will be the first of their kind and being vegan and allergen free, will engage consumers with their unique style and eco-conscious background. We aim to cater to a large range of consumers due to the versatility and characteristics of our pesto’s. Our product will be packaged in a 160g glass jar with a stuck on label to link to the fact that our pesto is to be a premium product.
