La Terra Fina has recently introduced new product lines mixing healthy fresh vegetables with Greek yogurt, creating a new hummus alternative.
“Consumers don’t need another hummus, but they do want fresh alternatives and new flavor experiences that are just as healthy and convenient,” Tim Ramsey, GM and COO. “After a lot of research and mixing it up in the test kitchens we’ve produced three new product lines that are inventive and original, yet on-trend with our foodie culture and increasingly refined palates.”
The company developed its line of dips that can be added to sandwiches, wraps, crackers or veggie platters. They include:
• Greek Kalamata Olives & Spinach: Leafy spinach and sun-dried tomatoes are blended with creamy Greek yogurt then finished with a fresh squeeze of lemon and salty Kalamata olives
• Balsamic Beet & White Bean: The natural sweetness of nutrient-rich beets is a perfect complement for Greek yogurt, with a savory touch of basil and salty Parmesan cheese and a splash of Balsamic vinegar
Creamy Vegetable
A blend of summer vegetables, herbs and Greek yogurt, the Vegetable Fusion flavors are ideal for a light dip or sandwich spread as an alternative to hummus, but with up to 65 percent less fat and fewer calories.
• Roasted Yellow Pepper & Lentil: Yellow bell peppers are roasted, then blended with savory red lentils and tangy Greek yogurt for a perfect balance of sweet and savory.
• Red Lentil Curry: Roasted garlic and spicy curry add a rich layer to this blend of creamy Greek yogurt and simmered red lentils for a hearty dip.
Mediterranean Classics
An update on snacking favorites, the Classics line adds chef-influenced flavors to popular stand-bys.
• Creamy Spinach & Bacon: Roasted garlic and smoky bacon kick the classic spinach dip up a notch.
• Caramelized Onion: Rich caramelized red onions with a hint of balsamic are blended with tangy Greek yogurt for a healthier and more flavorful alternative to this party favorite.
Salad-Inspired
A riff on gourmet salad entrees, these dips pair fresh chopped vegetables with Greek yogurt, resulting in combinations with approximately half the fat and calories than regular dips.
La Terra Fina’s new products are all gluten free and contain no nuts or trans-fat and are made from 100% recycled PET bottles.
