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.
