Mutti Ketchup

The Italian red brand is expanding shelves with a very intriguing and delightful launch in collaboration with Ristretto.

Mutti’s ketchup, made from tomatoes from the Parma region and a classic, no-frills recipe (2.2 kg of fresh tomatoes yield 1 kg of ketchup), is sold in a 300-gram glass bottle. It’s thick but not too thick, reminiscent of the familiar taste of the brand’s sauces, and essentially returns ketchup to its roots—sweet but distinctly less sugary and more flavorful. Price: NIS 14.90.

Elite Turkish Coffee Capsules

One of the most popular and strong brands in the market—not just in the coffee sector—embraces innovation and current trends, expanding its range and machines.

These are espresso capsules with Turkish coffee and Turkish coffee with cardamom flavors, offering familiar aromas and a well-known coffee experience, free of grounds and sediments (also familiar, of course). Authentic Turkish coffee enthusiasts might find it hard to embrace this new product, but everyone else will likely appreciate it.
