These new Hellmann's Ranch sauces have been debuted by the brand in the UK as a series of American-style products that target British consumer demand for US-led flavor innovations. The sauces feature the brand's signature ranch dressing recipe, but sees them elevated with additional flavors to elevate their flavor profile with unexpected tasting notes.
The sauces come in the Blue Cheese Ranch and Buffalo Ranch options, which each have a creamy buttermilk ranch base with notes of blue cheese or smoky fermented chilis, depending on the variety. The sauces are launching this month at retailers in 430ml bottles priced at £3.50 each.
Marketing Manager for Foods at Unilever Richard Vaughan commented on the new Hellmann's Ranch sauces saying, "The launch of our Creamy Ranch and Spicy Ranch sauces last year was a huge success, and we are excited to build on this momentum by expanding our ranch range with two bold new flavours."
