Lion Spicy Taco Mayonnaise, Lion Tomato & Chilli Sauce and Lion Burger Sauce are available now, alongside the full Lion range

AAK Foodservice has expanded its Lion brand with the launch of three new back-of-house sauces to help caterers premiumise classic dishes and explore more international flavours.

Product details:

Lion Spicy Taco Mayonnaise, Lion Tomato & Chilli Sauce and Lion Burger Sauce are new to the range, which has also undergone a packaging makeover to rejuvenate its visual appeal.

The three new additions are all available in 5ltr jars, building on Lion’s comprehensive range of 2.27ltr back-of-house jars which include all classics such as English Mustard and Mint Sauce along with spicy, global flavours.

Lion Spicy Taco Mayonnaise and Tomato & Chilli Sauce sit alongside Lion Piri Piri and Very Hot Chilli Sauce, while Lion Burger Sauce joins Yoghurt & Mint, Garlic Mayo and Blue Cheese in their quest to ‘jazz –up’ classics, from fish and chips and burgers to chicken and steaks. The new-look Lion range, which also incorporates a vast range of dressings including Balsamic & Herb, has non-slip grippers on the handle and an off-centre neck to prevent drips down the side.

USP:

In terms of Lion’s mayonnaise offering, AAK Foodservice has upped the ante by investing in new production facilities, meaning the oils and fats expert can guarantee even better taste. The improved range is also made from 100% rapeseed oil and is completely soya free

As part of the Lion makeover, there are also some new formats, with Lion BBQ Sauce and Garlic Mayonnaise now available in 5ltr jars in addition to the standard 2.27ltr offering.

The new Lion Burger Sauce is also available in a 10ltr jar to help caterers meet demand.

Availability:

Lion Spicy Taco Mayonnaise, Lion Tomato & Chilli Sauce and Lion Burger Sauce are available now, alongside the full Lion range. For more information, call 01482 332100 or visit www.lionsauces.co.uk.

Why you should buy it:

Rachel Neale, foodservice marketing manager at AAK Foodservice, said: “The use of condiments whilst eating out is growing, with almost half the dishes sold last winter being served with a sauce.

“Our new additions bring even more to the Lion brand, using the highest quality ingredients from across the world to ensure it stands out from the competition.”
