It joins other ethnic Dip’n Eat Pom’Tapas, which include Sirtaki- (Greek), Argentinean- and Italian-style offerings.

The company also unveiled a range of non-fried, gluten-free Bintje potato products under its newly introduced Every Day sub-brand. Now available in 2.5-kilo foodservice bags are potato swirls, diced potatoes and sliced potatoes.

“Because they have not been pre-fried, our Every Day products contain either no fat at all, or are very low in fat,” explained Francoise Saint-Ghislain, Lutosa’s marketing director. Chefs or other end-users may opt to prepare them in combi-steamers or covered in microwave ovens to control fat content. On the other hand, they may be tray-baked with a drizzle of olive oil.
