Cesarine, an online platform featuring 1500 amateur chefs across 450 cities in Italy who create food experiences such as cooking classes and food tours, has launched its first product range.
Around 50 products are available including some lesser-known recipes that are hard to find in larger retailers, such as “cacio e pepe” sauce, Tuscan chicken liver pâté, and a variety of liqueurs such as Marasca cherry and Zabaione. “It’s just like delving into an Italian nonna’s pantry,” the network said.
The move to sell products on the site came after the pandemic inspired over 10,000 people to log on from all over the world to learn the secrets of ragù alla Bolognese, Neapolitan pizza, authentic Amatriciana sauce and much more, live from real Italian home kitchens.

Popcorn Kitchen has added a new chocolate mint flavour which it said provides an ‘English twist to a North American classic’.
Popcorn Kitchen co-owner, Andy Valentine, said: “Like so many ‘foodsmiths’ before us, we see the ‘greater than the sum of its parts’ potential of meshing an earthy dark Belgian chocolate with the light zing of peppermint and big dollop of British nostalgia. Simply put, this may well be the perfect sharing popcorn over the festive period, although you certainly needn’t wait until mid-evening before tucking in.”
Popcorn Kitchen products contain no artificial flavouring, colouring or sweeteners and are suitable for vegetarians and coeliacs.

As more shoppers work from home, the number of at-home lunchtime occasions have risen to just over 13 billion, and as a result consumer have turned to the frozen pizza category having realised the quality available.
“Our new Goodfella’s Mini Stonebaked Pizzas will continue to capitalise on this shopper demand, offering the satisfaction and high quality you’d expect from an authentic Stonebaked pizza, but in a portion size perfect for lunchtime or snacking.”
The Goodfella’s Mini Stonebaked Pizzas will first be rolling out in Asda on 18 October before rolling out to other retailers. The NPD will have an MRSP of £2.50, with four pizzas included in a pack.

Drinks brand OHMG has unveiled a range of still and sparkling waters that aim to reduce anxiety and aid relaxation by providing consumers with magnesium-enriched drinks.
OHMG’s new range of magnesium waters offer a refreshing alternative to the soft drinks market and are sure to challenge the relaxation drinks category. The brand recently scooped silver at the 2021 Nourish Awards where they won against hundreds of nutrition and health products.
The range of beverages are made with pure water that has been naturally infused with a bioavailable magnesium, delicious natural fruit flavours and extracts; along with functional botanicals, that help reduce anxiety, tiredness and fatigue and contribute to normal psychological function.
Stuart Walsh, co-founder of OHMG Brands, said: “The relaxing drinks category is growing fast, predominantly led by CBD Drinks. We’re going in a completely different direction by using a high quality, bioavailable magnesium as it’s an incredibly important nutrient that plays a role in more than 300+ functions in our body. It regulates the nervous system, improves cognitive/psychological balance as well as contributing to energy-yielding metabolism. Magnesium is known as the anti-stress mineral that helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, I think we could all do with some of that right now!”
The OHMG drink range is available from Harrods and direct from the OHMG.shop, the brand is also in advanced talks with other major retailers and has secured £250k of investment for the launch stage. RSP is £1.99 per can, £5.85 for a trial pack and £23.40 for a pack of 12.
