SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7, 2014 – Italian Foods Corporation is introducing a new sundried tomato pesto at the 2014 Winter Fancy Food Show Jan. 19-21 in San Francisco. Samples area available at Booth 3718. La Piana® Sundried Tomato Pesto is imported from the Umbria region and has a pleasantly intense tomato flavor from the sundried tomatoes as well as richness and texture from cashews, said Francesca Lapiana-Krause, sales director. The red pesto is flavored with garlic, delicate Grana Padano cheese, and a pinch of chile pepper to lift the taste of the other ingredients and leave just a spark of flavor on the tongue, Lapiana-Krause said. “We love this really flavorful twist on a traditional basil pesto,” she said. It is delicious over pasta, as a bruschetta topping on charred bread or as a gourmet pizza sauce. It also works well as a condiment on sandwiches, in soups or alongside chicken and flaky white fish.” La Piana Sundried Tomato Pesto is available now in 6.3-ounce jars with a suggested retail price of $6.19.
