May’s Italian arrivals.Sunshine, sparkle and summer-ready menus.

When the weather warms up, sharing menus, bar snacks and aperitivo plates start doing serious volume — and our premium Italian fritti range is built exactly for that moment.

Crisp on the outside, indulgent on the inside, and reliable straight from oven, fryer or air fryer. A few highlights from the range:

• The Arancino Truffle & Fontal and Arancino al Ragu are the showstoppers — proper Italian risotto, generously filled, perfect as a starter or a sharing plate.
• Fior di Zucca brings something a little more refined — courgette flowers stuffed with mozzarella and anchovy, ideal when you want a moment of “where did you find these?” on the menu.
• Truffle Mozzarella Crocchette, Salt Cod Crocchette, Melanzana Parmigiana Cubes, Cacio e Pepe, Carbonara and Mac and Cheese Cubes round out one of the most versatile frozen ranges we carry.
