The Cirio products are: Chopped Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, Tomato Passata, Pizza Sauce Original and Pizza Sauce Spicy. Recipe ideas are available.
The products are packed in foil bags, which eradicate the problems associated with metal cans or sharp edges and can openers.
The new 3kg bags are hygienic, lightweight and easy to pour. They can sit on the shelf until they are opened and then they need to be refrigerated once opened.

A helping hand in a busy kitchen Pat Van Holt, a former Michelin star chef and head chef of The Caversham Heath Golf Club in Reading, Berkshire, finds that by using the Knorr Garde d'Or range of sauces, dishes can be prepared, cooked and served to order within 15 minutes.
Pat uses the Knorr Garde d'Or Cheese, White Wine and Demi Glace Sauces as bases to create a range of traditional dishes.
One of his specialities is Oceanic Chicken, stuffed with smoked salmon and prawns, and served with Knorr Garde d'Or White Wine Sauce.
He says: "The great thing about this sauce is that it adds flavour without overpowering the flavour of the food."
