In support of consumers shifting preference toward healthy and fresh food, Liguria Foods has developed three varieties of natural nitrate-free pepperoni for pizzerias.
As with all Liguria products, Liguria All-Natural Pepperoni is made from the freshest ingredients sourced from long-time area farms. Liguria All-Natural Pepperoni is made with the same coarse grind of the purest pork plus beef and all-natural seasonings. The authentic old-world recipe is strictly followed as Liguria never cuts corners. This consistency ensures the delicious taste of every Liguria pepperoni remains the same.
The primary difference with Liguria's All-Natural Pepperoni is how it's preserved in the curing process. Because nitrites are not added the pepperoni is considered by the USDA to be uncured.
Liguria Foods sales & marketing senior vice-president Joseph Henry said: "The response from customers has been overwhelmingly positive.
"As more pizzerias look for healthy alternatives, including organic vegetable toppings, gluten-free crusts and fresh tomato sauce, the Liguria All-Natural Pepperoni helps give us a better story to tell customers."
The line-up of all-natural pepperoni from Liguria Foods includes:
Liguria All-Natural - The premium choice crafted with the same taste profile as the company flagship Liguria brandLiguria Prima Qualita - Offers a classic taste and with a redder appearance and spicier kick. There are three varieties of Liguria Prima Qualita: Spicy, Smoked and RegularLiguria Anti-Biotic Free - The healthiest alternative offering the great, traditional pepperoni taste.
