Gosh! Croquettes have been unveiled as a new series of plant-based foods from the UK-based brand crafted with the premium at-home sharing category in mind to work well as an appetizer, snack and beyond.
The vegetable-based croquettes are reported by the brand to be a first of its kind for the company and boast high-quality ingredients to achieve the optimal taste and texture. The croquettes also come with a dip to further complement the flavors and diversify the texture. Shoppers can choose from two options including the Bengali-inspired Beetroot Croquettes with a Mango and Nigella Seeds Chutney and the Italian-inspired Cannellini Bean & Mozzarella Croquettes with a Balsamic and Tomato Dip.
Marketing Director Caroline Hughes commented on the Gosh! Croquettes saying, "With more people choosing to entertain at home amid ongoing cost-of-living pressures, we saw a clear opportunity to offer something special with our premium, all-natural and plant-based croquettes."
