Schwarts New Flavour Shots Range

This August, leading herbs and spices brand and flavour expert, Schwartz will inject innovation into the packet mixes category with the launch of the new Flavour Shots range – an intense blend of herbs, spices and seasonings, locked in sunflower oil.

Flavour Shots is a world first and a unique new format set to transform the way consumers cook mid-week family favourites at home and is designed for busy families who are looking for inspiration to make tastier, healthier, fuss free meals. The dishes only need a few readily available fresh and store cupboard ingredients.

Three years of research and development have gone into Flavour Shots combined with Schwartz's strong heritage in herbs and spices. The range has been extensively tested with consumers and 80% thought the product tasted so good they would buy it and try again. With a delicious aroma on opening the product to an intense boost of fresh flavour when tasting the final meal, Flavour Shots offer a multi-sensory experience from the moment consumers start cooking. The product has been designed with convenience in mind - simply spoon the contents into a pan, heat until it sizzles and then combine with the rest of the recipe ingredients.

Paola Bassi, Schwartz UK Marketing Director commented: “Our research found that consumers most appreciated the fantastic taste of the new range, closely followed by the ease of use. With this research in mind we ensured that Flavour Shots encapsulated simplicity, offering a simple meal time solution for those that want to inject flavour into their meals but need a little assistance. Flavour Shots is a premium range and Schwartz is proud to be launching such an innovative new product driving value into the packet mixes category."

There are five varieties in the range and these were selected as they feature in the UK's top favourite meals:

  • Thai Red Curry
  • Indian Mild Masala Curry
  • Mexican Fajitas
  • Chinese Sweet & Sour
  • Spanish Smoked Paprika Chicken
  • Tapping into consumer demand for health conscious food, the Flavour Shots recipes are all under 350 calories per serving and contain no hydrogenated fat, artificial colours, added preservatives or MSG. Flavour Shots is the latest in an extensive line of innovative product launches from Schwartz which has included Recipe Inspirations, Grill Mates and 2in1. The Flavour Shots launch will be supported by a fully integrated marketing campaign which will kick off with a creative PR campaign from August 2013 onwards. Flavour Shots will be available on the packet mix fixture from the 19th August. Packaged
    in unique 52g, single use pots, that deliver a recipe for four, the range will be priced at £1.39 and be available in all major retailers nationwide. http://www.schwartz.co.uk
