‘That is restaurant quality’: Coles shoppers talk about $8 freezer item taking over pantries
- Replies 6
There's a certain joy in discovering a supermarket find that promises gourmet taste without the gourmet price tag.
For those who appreciate a fine meal but also value the convenience of a quick, easy-to-prepare dish, Coles just introduced a tantalising option that's causing quite the stir among food lovers.
The latest buzz in the frozen food section comes from a ‘restaurant quality’ item as told by satisfied customers.
Coles recently expanded its Coles Finest range with the introduction of Italian Potato Gnocchi with Cacio e Pepe ($8), a dish that's already winning hearts and taste buds nationwide.
This delightful offering is made in Italy and boasts the authentic flavours that one would expect from a traditional Italian kitchen.
The gnocchi, known for its soft and pillowy texture, is paired with a rich and creamy Cacio e Pepe sauce, creating a comforting and indulgent combination.
Food enthusiasts and everyday shoppers alike sang their praises over the frozen goods.
Food content creator Nectorious Papi urged his followers to give it a try, emphasising its delicious taste.
Big Brother alumna Mary Kalifatidis lauded the gnocchi as a meal that rivals those made from scratch.
Another food content creator, Sarah Brown, described the dish as a 'melt in your mouth' experience, complete with a 'chef's kiss' approval.
Cacio and Pepe variant aside, food content creator Ange Eats shared that there's also a mushroom risotto version available, giving more options for those seeking a quick gourmet meal.
Since then, shoppers have commended the Coles Finest range for its variety of high-quality offerings.
However, with every new product comes a wave of curiosity and scepticism.
Some shoppers raised questions about portion sizes and calorie counts, wondering if the nutritional value is too good to be true.
Other cooks with experience in traditional Italian cooking playfully inquired if the dish is 'Nonna approved' or how it would fare against homemade.
Coles has responded to their customers’ enthusiasm with confidence.
‘An authentic home-cooked Italian meal has never been easier with the recent addition to the Coles Finest range of Italian Gnocchi with Cacio e Pepe sauce and Gnocchi with Sorrentina Sauce,’ a Coles spokesperson stated.
‘These new light and fluffy Gnocchi products will give customers a taste of Italy in just seven minutes in a pan! Proving popular in just their first week, we aren’t surprised that customers are loving this addition to our quality range of convenient and delicious meals available at Coles.’
The introduction of the Italian Gnocchi with Cacio e Pepe came at a great timing, as Coles recently made headlines with its commitment to helping Australians manage the cost of living.
The supermarket giant reduced the prices of their one-kilogram cheese blocks, bringing the cost down from $13.90 to $9.50.
This initiative, part of Coles' 'down down' price reductions, is fully funded by the supermarket to ensure that dairy farmers are not adversely affected.
Coles' Chief Commercial Officer, Anna Croft, emphasised the company's dedication to helping customers save on their weekly grocery budget.
With over 40 percent of Coles customers expressing a preference for block cheese over sliced or shredded, this price drop has been well-received.
So, whether you're in the mood for a quick gourmet meal or looking to save on everyday staples, Coles is offering some enticing options.
