Free-from food brand SOLENZI introduced a new organic, vegan sauce at the 2023 Summer Fancy Food Show: the Organic Boscaiola Porcini Mushroom Vegan Cream Sauce. “The consumer interest in rich and creamy sauces is increasing, but they are looking for plant-based clean ingredients, and the convenience of ready-made," said Enza Cianciotta, founder of SOLENZI Foods, “Made with no dairy, no nuts, no soy, no gluten, and no sugar, this aromatic Keto-friendly sauce has a gourmet taste, without the guilt."
This free-from, no-sugar-added sauce is made with a creamy base of coconut cream and tapioca starch, plus other plant-powered additions like sun-dried eggplant, sun-dried tomato, plus herbs and spices. The versatile plant-based cream sauce speaks to consumers who are seeking healthier lifestyles and want to enjoy cooking experiences at home with a focus on deliciousness and ease of preparation.
