Merchant Gourmet expands range into two new sectors

Merchant Gourmet has expanded into on-the-go with mini snacking chestnuts and into ambient pre-prepared with ready-to-bake stuffing, marking two sector firsts. The new chestnut snacks are available in lightly salted flavour, providing healthy snack packs containing 65 kcals whilst remaining low in fat and being a source of fibre. The HFSS-compliant chestnuts are roasted and lightly sprinkled with seasoning, offering a natural, plant-based on-the-go option. The brand has also launched ready-to-bake chestnut stuffing, the pre-prepared flavourful packs are made with onion, apple, sage and chestnuts and can be baked, added to other recipes or mixed with other stuffing ingredients. “Our latest NPD launches as a direct response to ongoing consumer demand for new and exciting ways to enjoy the traditional fruit. As we approach the festive period, a key moment for chestnut sales in the UK, the launch of our new snacking chestnut and chestnut stuffing offer delicious, plant-based options for all occasions”, said Richard Peake, managing director of Merchant Gourmet.
