In addition to its new organic dressings, Annie’s also adds Sweet & Spicy BBQ sauce

 

Napa, Calif. (March 14, 2008) – Annie’s Naturals, the nation’s leading line of natural and organic dressings and condiments, introduces three distinctly different organic offerings to its line of popular dressings: Organic Lite Cucumber Yogurt, Organic Pomegranate Vinaigrette and Organic Creamy Asiago Cheese. Also new from Annie’s is Organic Sweet & Spicy BBQ sauce, a traditional-style recipe rich with flavor.

 

“In our ongoing quest to enliven healthy eating, we’ve created three new dressings with select ingredients never before used in our recipes,” said Annie Christopher, founder of Annie’s Naturals. “Each innovative dressing is organic and crafted with only the highest quality ingredients. Tart pomegranate, rich Asiago and refreshing cucumber elevate a simple salad. ”  

 

Organic Lite Cucumber Yogurt
This new, customer-requested addition to Annie’s Lite line combines yogurt, cucumber and mint with a sprinkle of Indian spice, creating a cool raita-style Lite dressing or dip that has 60 percent less fat and 50 percent less calories than other creamy dressings. Available in an 8 oz. bottle for a suggested retail price of $3.79.

 

Organic Pomegranate Vinaigrette
This fruity-sweet and tangy vinaigrette is made from ruby seeds of the super-fruit pomegranate with a splash of black tea, perfect for fresh salads. Available in an 8 oz. bottle for $3.79.

 

Organic Creamy Asiago Cheese
Crafted with the delicious specialty cheese, this creamy dressing captures the Italian countryside with the nutty flavor of grated Asiago paired with basil and parsley. Available in an 8 oz. bottle for $3.79.


Organic Sweet & Spicy BBQ Sauce
Annie’s Naturals started as a result of the success of Annie Christopher’s homemade BBQ sauce at her Vermont barbecue shack. Traditional style meets rich flavor in new Sweet & Spicy BBQ sauce, which pays homage to those roots. Available in 12 oz. bottles for a suggested retail price of $3.29.
 

All four new Annie’s products, available on shelf in summer 2008, are certified organic and naturally gluten-free.
