Greek and Mediterranean fine food specialists Odysea have introduced 10 new products to Sainsbury’s this week, including a first for the retailer. Skordalia traditional Greek dip, tart with Balsamic Glaze raspberry and innovative Gin & Tonic style olives.
STORE CABINET UPDATE
The new range of glazes, oils and olives captures the key flavors of Greece and the Mediterranean, all perfect for elevating a weekday meal, impressing guests and creating authentic meze platters at home.
Balsamic Glaze with raspberry is a versatile chef’s ingredient that revolutionizes a salad or takes chocolate desserts to a new level. The glossy glaze balances the tartness of the concentrated IGP balsamic vinegar and the sweetness of the fruit.
New Balsamic Glaze with truffle is made from 60% Modena balsamic vinegar (Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP) and brings a luxurious umami-truffle flavor to your Wednesday risotto or weekend roast potatoes at a pocket-friendly price.
By combining two basic flavors of the Mediterranean diet, Odysea’s Extra virgin olive oil full of garlic is meant to be drizzled over roasted chicken, mixed into a vinaigrette, or drizzled over any dish you might want to add allium to.
As the festive season approaches, Odyssea’s new Gin & Tonic style olives are the perfect addition to the party. Infused with quinine and juniper, these fun-loving olives are completely alcohol-free and taste just like a G&T. The perfect olive for a dirty martini, these can be kept in the cupboard ready for when that Friday feeling strikes.
