OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 3, 2014--
Bertolli, a brand of ConAgra Foods (NYSE:CAG), announced the arrival of
its new Italian-Style Tortas in grocers’ freezers today. Similar to a
calzone or stromboli, the single-serve tortas feature rich cheeses,
premium meats, and delicious slow-cooked sauces surrounded by a golden
flaky, made-from-scratch crust. Sold nationwide for $2.99 each, Bertolli
Italian-Style Tortas are ideal for a hearty meal or, when combined with
a salad, part of a great meal to share.
“Consumers want restaurant-quality food at home without a lot of prep
time, and this includes pizzas, calzones, and other popular Italian
dishes,” said Jenn Freeman, vice president general manager, ConAgra
Foods. “Our Italian-Style Tortas give them just what they want – hot,
melting cheeses paired with flavorful sauces wrapped in a flaky,
made-from-scratch crust. In addition, ConAgra Foods is known for its
breadth and depth of frozen items including pot pies and other hearty
meals, and the unique torta adds to our product variety and helps
consumers expand their options for at-home dining.”
Staying true to Bertolli’s Italian roots, the Three Cheese Marinara
Torta offers authentic flavor using ingredients like creamy ricotta,
parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses and a rich, basil-seasoned marinara
sauce, slow cooked from scratch using fresh tomatoes from California.
For a heartier option, the Italian Sausage Torta adds spicy,
made-from-scratch, Italian sausage to the rich layers of cheese and
sauce. The new Italian-Style Tortas join 21 new items launched last
year, including Meals for One, Rustico Bakes for One and for Two, and
Skillet Meals, as well as single-serve Desserts imported from Italy, all
made with premium ingredients that deliver authentic Italian taste to
the kitchen table in minutes.
