Joe Delucci’s genuine Italian gelati is ice cream with a difference – it is a super de-luxe, completely natural product which contains only 4% fat having been made with milk or water rather than cream.
These Turinese delights deliver a thick texture and creamy taste thanks to a unique manufacturing process which doesn’t deliberately add air.
Varieties launched by Midlands frozen food wholesaler MKG Foods include Chocolate, Mango, Tiramisu, Raspberry, Hazelnut, Coconut and Classic Crème. All come in 4.8 litre units.
A range of new and unique flavours such as Melon & Chilli, Cinnamon and Pistachio are available in 2.5 litre units.
Joe Delucci’s is the only gelati known to have been endorsed by the Slow Food Movement which was founded to encourage excellence in food and drink.
“Gelato doesn’t melt so easily so it can be served warmer and thus delivers a more intense and longer lasting flavour,” said MKG Foods marketing executive, Serena Tutt.
At the same time the company has launched a selection of Joe Delucci’s Italian Sorbetti including Lemon, Mandarin, Pink Grapefruit with Asti and Forest Fruits.
In 2.5 litre tubs, the sorbetti has a minimum of 25% fruit and contains 0% fat.

JUICY AND AUTHENTIC - THE MKG ANGUS BURGER |
|
2006-07-21 10:15:30
|
In a deliberate move to target hotels, restaurants and gastro pubs, MKG Foods is expanding its selection of premium quality products.
The latest addition to this growing list is an authentic Aberdeen Angus Burger. Weighing in at a plump 170g (6oz) it is a coarse cut rather than minced 100% beef burger (with just a hint of seasoning) which looks home made and tastes better than that. The juicy texture delivers a delightful bite.
“The UK sells six times more Aberdeen Angus meat than the country produces so it was important for us to find a really authentic source of supply,” said MKG marketing manager, Philip Mayling.
“Our source is so authentic and so traceable we can even name the beast from which the meat is produced,” he added.
Aberdeen Angus burgers join other premium quality products in the MKG portfolio, including Cod Loins (the Rolls Royce of fish cuts), salmon products, top grade vegetables and convenient cook main meal centres like Lamb Shanks, Scrumpy Pork Hock and Mustard Ham Joints.
