Malenkyi Kukhar Launches New Product Category – Italian Sauces for Pizza and Pasta
Odesa Baby Food Cannery, the manufacturer of products under the Malenkyi Kukhar brand, is expanding its product portfolio with the launch of a new category of tomato sauces. The range includes two new products: Pizza Sauce and Pasta Sauce – ready-to-use solutions for making popular Italian dishes at home.
The launch of a new category reflects current market trends, with growing demand for natural products that help consumers prepare delicious home-cooked meals quickly and easily, without compromising on quality or composition. The new sauces combine authentic flavour, natural ingredients and convenience.
Malenkyi Kukhar brand continues to build its expertise in natural tomato-based products. Its range now includes tomato paste, tomato purée, passata, ketchup and sauces, offering consumers a wide choice of products for everyday cooking with a fresh, rich flavour. The launch of the Italian sauces is a natural next step in the brand’s development and its specialisation in natural cooking essentials.
The new products are made with tomato passata produced in-house from fresh Ukrainian tomatoes grown in the company’s own fields. Control over the entire production cycle, from growing the tomatoes to the finished product, ensures consistent quality, natural character and a rich flavour of products. The company also uses modern Italian technology and equipment, which help preserve as much of the tomatoes’ natural qualities as possible and create products in keeping with Mediterranean culinary traditions.
The range comprises two products available in 300 g glass jars.
Pizza Sauce has been specially developed for cooking homemade pizza. The sauce has an optimum consistency, spreads evenly over the dough, and stays in place during baking. A blend of tomato passata, basil and natural spices creates a well-balanced flavour that complements both classic and signature pizza recipes.
Pasta Sauce is a ready-to-use tomato sauce with a rich flavour, designed for cooking a variety of pasta dishes quickly. It allows consumers to prepare a complete meal at home in just a few minutes and is a versatile choice for everyday cooking.
Both products are made from fresh tomatoes processed in-house, with natural spices added, and contain no preservatives, flavourings, colourings or thickeners. The glass packaging offers added convenience, allowing the product to be used over several occasions.
“We see sustained growth in demand for natural products that help people make delicious home-cooked meals quickly. That is why we are expanding the Malenkyi Kukhar brand’s range with a new category of Italian tomato sauces. Our key advantage is control over the entire production cycle, from growing our own tomatoes to the finished product, combined with the use of modern Italian processing technologies. This enables us to create products with an authentic tomato flavour, high quality and natural ingredients that Ukrainian consumers trust,” says Maksym Protopopov, Malenkyi Kukhar Brand Manager.
