SAN REMO APPOINTS JIMMY BOSWELL AS ITS FIRST GLUTEN FREE BRAND ADVOCATE

TRippon — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 00:03:50 +0000

San Remo has announced popular New Zealand-based celebrity chef Jimmy Boswell as its latest brand advocate.

Chief Marketing Officer, Michael Neale, said the popular chef – known internationally as the Gluten Free Chef – would play a key role in educating the community about the various gluten free pasta options available through San Remo.

“A growing number of people are moving to a gluten free diet as a result of a medically diagnosed gluten intolerance and we believe Jimmy can help show these people how pasta can remain a favourite meal option as part of their diet without compromising on quality” Mr Neale said.

“San Remo Gluten Free pasta is free of gluten, dairy products and yeast, and still offers the “al dente” taste and texture only found in good pasta – and we look forward to Jimmy creating some outstanding recipes for people to try at home and enjoy.”

Mr Boswell said he is a long-time user of San Remo pasta because of its consistently excellent taste and texture.

“People can live gluten free with ease and still enjoy lots of taste; and because pasta provides quick to plate meals it can maintain its place in homes and remain a popular meal option for busy parents with families,” Mr Boswell said.

“In my household one of the favourite meals is herbed lamb meat balls served with my family’s Sicilian tomato sauce and San Remo gluten free pasta. I look forward to sharing that and many other recipes in my new role.”

Mr Boswell is a chef, cookbook author, food writer, blogger who released his first cookbook in July 2012 titled ‘The New Zealand Gluten-Free Cookbook’.

When he isn’t developing gluten free recipes, the popular chef and food writer is a presenter at food shows, on TV and speaking at the New Zealand Gluten Free and Allergy Shows.

He started cooking at the age of five and with his half Sicilian heritage he has a very seasonal fresh approach to his cooking and creates dishes that are family friendly.

SAN REMO ANNOUNCES LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP WITH BRAND AMBASSADOR ADAM SWANSON

TRippon — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 22:09:00 +0000

San Remo has announced a long-term brand ambassador partnership with owner and Executive Chef of Zucca Greek Mezze, Adam Swanson.
The Adelaide-born chef said he was excited to continue his role as a brand ambassador for San Remo.
“Cooking and eating quality food has always been an important part of my life, and to continue helping promote San Remo’s outstanding range of pasta products and show people the best way to cook pasta meals is a dream come true,” Mr Swanson said.
“Pasta has become an important meal for many Australians, so it is important that they learn about the flexibility of great quality pasta and prepare meals that will appeal to the entire family,” he said.
“Some of my best childhood memories involve food and particularly cooking with my Nonna – my grandmother from my mother’s Italian side of the family. She taught me a lot about the importance of quality ingredients and the minimalistic elegance of simple Italian cooking. She also taught me the fundamentals of Pasta history and culture” he says; “But that background has also taught me that there is still much to learn.
Chief Marketing Officer, Michael Neale, said San Remo was proud to continue its alignment with the popular and award-winning celebrity chef.
“Adam has been outstanding in his role as a brand ambassador and the public have enjoyed watching him turn quality pasta into extraordinary meals which can still be prepared by someone at home,” Mr Neale said.
“Adam’s strong family values and passion for cooking quality food is a perfect fit with our brand, and he is well-loved by the public and respected by his culinary peers,” he said.
“His own upbringing has provided him with a deep understanding about pasta culture and tradition and the need to use good quality pasta like San Remo, but his further research since becoming our brand ambassador has set him apart as a real specialist in the field.”
Adam opened his first restaurant Zucca Greek Mezze in late 2003 which won the ‘Best Mediterranean Restaurant’ award for three consecutive years, and has been entered in the hall of fame by the Restaurant and Catering Association of South Australia. Adam was also a founding partner of Esca, a specialist in Southern European / Mediterranean and Italian food at the time, but subsequently sold his interest as his media commitments grew.
As an extension of his passion for food, Adam is a regular chef on Network Ten’s Ready Steady Cook and makes regular guest appearances on “Justine Schofield’s Everyday Gourmet”, “Good Chef, Bad Chef” and Channel 7’s “Out of the Blue”.
Adam concludes, “I believe my role with San Remo will help generations to come to also create similar fond experiences with pasta as I shared within my family as a child.”

San Remo renews partnership with netball

TRippon — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 06:31:48 +0000

Australian food company San Remo Macaroni Company has renewed its partnership with Netball Australia for a further three years, throwing its support behind the Australian Diamonds ahead of the 2014 Commonwealth Games and 2015 World Netball Championships.
San Remo has supported Australian netball at all levels since first partnering with the sport in 2008, sponsoring junior netball, the underage National Netball Championships, ANZ Championship and Australia Diamonds for the last five years.
“We see netball as a fantastic vehicle for engaging with our target market – the Main Grocery Buyer – who is predominantly female” said Michael Neale, Chief Marketing Officer for San Remo. “We also know that interest in netball, particularly in the Australian Netball Diamonds, far exceeds the 1.2 million regular netball participants who, like Main Grocery Buyers, are predominantly female”.
“One of the most appealing things about netball is the calibre of the elite players. The Australian Netball Diamonds stand out as fantastic role models – not just as athletes but as people. This is really important when you have a high quality brand with strong traditional family values. You can’t be too careful about with whom you associate. We are very happy to have Julie Corletto as our Brand Ambassador and to have all of the Diamonds associated with our brand.”
San Remo will use netball to promote its “Eat Pasta to Play” initiative. This initiative encourages people to consider pasta as a key food for preparing to and recovering from physical activity, including organised sport but also just being active, or ‘playing’, as a family.
Netball Australia’s Chief Executive Officer Kate Palmer said that the partnership between netball and San Remo was a great match and one that has been highly successful in promoting the sport nationally along with a shared focus on healthy lifestyles.
“The support we have received from San Remo over the last five years has been nothing short of outstanding,” Palmer said.
“We are delighted to have partners like San Remo at our side as we usher in a new era for the sport with a record number of registered players, Sydney hosting the World Netball Championships in two years and the imminent announcement of a new multi-platform broadcast deal.”
San Remo’s commitment will see it as a Gold Sponsor of Netball Australia until 2016.

Treat Your Tastebuds With New San Remo Wholemeal CousCous

zynke — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:18:46 +0000

Treat your tastebuds to the flavours of the Mediterranean with San Remo’s new Wholemeal CousCous.

With a distinct and delicious nutty taste, it is a versatile accompaniment to traditional meals; Wholemeal CousCous goes well with stews or tagines, dried fruits, vegetables, lean meats or even Mediterranean-inspired summer dishes or salads.

Easy to prepare and ready in six minutes, it is an inspired alternative to rice or potatoes.

New Wholemeal CousCous is low in fat, high in fibre and a good source of protein.

It follows San Remo’s standard CousCous variety.

“CousCous almost certainly originated in North Africa but for hundreds of years it has been an important part of Italian pasta culture,” said Mr Michael Neale, Chief Marketing Officer at San Remo.

“With its distinct nutty taste, new Wholemeal CousCous suits a range of recipes especially those including nuts, fruit and red meat.

“San Remo Wholemeal CousCous is high in fibre, but we believe people will buy the product based on the taste.

“I think they will use standard CousCous with fish and white meat, and the Wholemeal CousCous with stronger flavoured dishes.”

San Remo Wholemeal CousCous comes in a convenient 450g box and is available at Woolworths supermarkets.

San Remo improves access to pasta recipes

zynke — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 04:21:11 +0000

San Remo has strengthened its commitment to promoting pasta culture with the launch of its new web site at www.sanremo.com.au.

This follows a number of initiatives undertaken by San Remo over the past 18 months including the successful and high profile sponsorship of the Renaissance Exhibition of 15th and 16th century paintings from Accademia Carrara, Bergamo (Italy) at the National Gallery of Australia.

The new web site continues in the spirit of the commitment San Remo makes to bringing Italian culture to Australian families but, in this case, with a specific focus on Italian food culture.

“We want people to eat more pasta,” said Michael Neale, Chief Marketing Officer for San Remo.

“We also want them to know the difference between poor and good quality pasta and to choose San Remo.

“If they choose pasta of a high quality, they need recipes that make the flavour of the pasta itself a feature of the meal. So we have been very deliberate in making those sorts of recipes available on our web site.”

Mr Neale said consumers want different meal ideas and inspiration about what they can do with pasta in their own homes.

“We are creatures of habit who like a bit of variety,” he said.

“We generally have a limited number of recipes that we rotate through over the course of a fortnight. So if we are going to put in a new pasta meal, we want something easy to learn and different to the pasta recipes we already know. That’s where the web site comes into play.”

The web site is easy to search and the recipes include information about preparation time and difficulty. The recipes are developed for specific pasta shapes but include suitable substitute shapes from the San Remo range if you don’t have access to the particular shape at the time.

A feature of the site is a “My San Remo Recipe Book” facility which is an easy to use digital repository for all of your favourite recipes. This is indicative of an ongoing commitment from San Remo to continue to roll out innovative features on the site to make it the website of first choice for information about pasta within the Australasian region.

“A number of the recipes include video clips of the recipe being made. This allows you to watch the recipe being made as you make it yourself, pausing as you do each step,” said Mr Neale.

“We know that people want to do this with their smart phones or tablets so we have optimised the web site to allow use in the mobile environment.”

The new web site is clean and easy to use.

“Our over-riding objective was to give people a good experience when they visit our web site looking for pasta recipes. If we do a better job at that than any other site, we hope to become the online destination of choice for pasta recipes,” he said.

San Remo pasta boasts a large Facebook following which the company attributes to the regular recipe posts. Fans generally get a quick and easy recipe at the start of each week and an entertainment recipe towards the end of each week.

The new web site can be found at www.sanremo.com.au.

Australian Pasta Akin to Fine Wine

zynke — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 00:40:38 +0000

Pasta and fine wine have more in common than most people think.

San Remo’s Chief Marketing Officer Mr Michael Neale says San Remo’s pasta-makers are treading the same path that wine-makers have been taking for centuries.

He will tell guests at the annual San Remo Australian Netball Diamonds dinner, to be held tonight (Thursday 11 October) at the National Wine Centre in Adelaide, that today’s pasta-makers share many of the same qualities of wine-makers, particularly how they apply science and art to agricultural produce to make the best product possible.

“I often talk about the quality of pasta using the wine industry as an analogy,” Mr Neale said.

“For me, it is a powerful simile.

“The quality of a fine wine is determined by selecting the right variety of grapes and grapes of the right quality.

“These need to be grown in the right soil, under the right climatic conditions and receive the right amount of rain or water.

“It then comes down to the grapes receiving the greatest care and attention during the harvesting, crushing, fermentation and maturation periods.”

Mr Neale said that while wine-making could be done at home, for thousands of years societies had delegated this task to experts to optimise the agricultural raw product and convert it into high-quality wine.

“Pasta-making has followed a similar path,” he said.

“Like wine, the responsibility to make great quality pasta has been delegated to village artisans and pasta-makers for hundreds of years.

“As a result, these pasta-makers, including those at San Remo, have developed skills and expertise akin to those of a fine wine-maker.

“Pasta involves taking the right variety of wheat and growing it under the right conditions, in the right soil.

“This produces quality wheat that is milled carefully to semolina – not flour.

“It is then carefully crafted, managing a number of variables, to become the best quality pasta that can be made from the agricultural raw product.

“Most people know there are some fantastic regions of Australia that are perfect for growing fine wine grapes.

“Similarly, there are regions of Australia that have naturally fantastic growing conditions to deliver top-quality durum wheat.

“On top of this, San Remo has spent the past 70 years working out how to make the best-quality pasta.

“We are committed to quality and the process of converting agricultural produce into premium products.

“It is this culture and experience that we are proud to share with the industry’s top wine-makers.”

Mr Neale said that like Australia’s wine culture, pasta culture is cultivated in our homes and in conversations between friends and family.

“We want people to taste their pasta like they’re tasting wine, before adding any sauce, to understand the real quality of San Remo pasta,” he said.

“We want them to taste how good quality pasta really is.”

The San Remo Australian Netball Diamonds dinner will be held tonight (Thursday 11 October) at the National Wine Centre in Adelaide.

The dinner precedes the Diamonds’ clash against England on Sunday 14 October, to be played at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre as part of the 2012 Holden Netball Quad Series.

The dinner will be attended by the Australian Netball Diamonds, Netball Australia senior management and officials, coaching staff and representatives from San Remo.

Being a Role Model a Real Pleasure for Diamonds

zynke — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 00:41:59 +0000

The members of the Australian Netball Diamonds, articulate athletes at the top of their sport, are wonderful role models for young Australian women. As a team they are arguably Australia’s most successful sporting team boasting 10 of the 13 world championship titles that have been contested since their inception in 1963 (including a tied first place in 1979).

The Diamonds live up to the high expectations that being role models places on them and, as they will find out on Thursday night in Adelaide, sometimes being a role model can be a real pleasure.

On Thursday, the team will attend the traditional Adelaide Netball Test Match Dinner hosted by San Remo. The meal has been developed by celebrity chef Adam Swanson and designed in consultation with Diamonds’ nutritionist, Kerry Leech.

“San Remo and Netball Australia have been working together to help promote healthy lifestyles that incorporate a balanced diet and physical activity” said Michael Neale, Chief Marketing Officer at San Remo. “For San Remo, this includes highlighting the importance of grain based foods, such as pasta, in a balanced diet.

“We generally point to the recommendations of the National Health & Medical Research Council. Most people don’t realise that the NHMRC recommends at least 4 serves of grain based foods every day.”

The Australian Netball Diamonds will play a Test Match against England on Sunday at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, with the game to be followed by a New Zealand Silver Ferns v South Africa fixture as part of the Holden Netball Quad Series.

“As you would expect, the Diamonds see this meal as part of their preparation for the game” said Neale. “It’s a great example for all the people who play netball in Australia and their caregivers: we would love to see mums talking to their daughters about making smart food choices before every netball game they play, and we’d love them to consider pasta as an integral part of their food choices.”

Marne Fechner, Head of Commercial Operations at Netball Australia explained that this was one occasion the Diamonds really enjoy being role models.

“The team have loved this event from the first time it was held in 2008” she said. “Pasta is an important and convenient food choice for the Diamonds; and to have Adam Swanson weave his magic through the pasta takes it to a new level for the girls. I am sure they go home inspired to try new things with their pasta after this dinner each year.”

Renaissance A Resounding Success with Australian Audiences

zynke — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 07:44:00 +0000

The National Gallery of Australia today announced that the Renaissance Exhibition of 15th and 16th century paintings from Accademia Carrara, Bergamo was a resounding success attracting almost 213,000 visitors from all over Australia to Canberra.

The exhibition closed on Monday 9 April, after a four month season, giving Australian audiences their first opportunity ever to see works by Italian Renaissance master such as Raphael, Botticelli, Bellini and Mantegna.

Director of the National Gallery of Australia, Ron Radford AM said today “The Renaissance exhibition attracted 212,920 visitors from all across Australia injecting an estimated $75 million into the ACT economy.

“This makes Renaissance the second most popular exhibition staged at the National Gallery of Australia in the last ten years. We are delighted that so many Australians took the opportunity to see this magnificent collection of Renaissance art and we are very grateful to the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo for lending us their precious works.”

The national marketing campaign made possible through the support of the ACT Government through ACT Tourism and the Gallery’s media sponsors ensured a high profile for the exhibition around Australia, with 81% of visitors to the exhibition coming from outside the ACT. Almost 20% of interstate visitors came from Melbourne and Victoria which represents the highest visitation from this state at a National Gallery of Australia major exhibition.

The introduction of timed ticketing by the National Gallery of Australia allowed visitors to choose a time and day to see the exhibition ensuring that 97% of visitors rated their experience as highly satisfactory.

The painting, Portrait of a Child of the Redetti Household by Giovan Battista Moroni was voted the clear favourite by visitors to the exhibition.

The National Gallery of Australia was only able to secure this exhibition because the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo is renovating its display spaces and is currently closed. The National Gallery of Australia organized the exhibition partnership with the City of Bergamo and its Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara.

The exhibition would not have been possible without the support of the Australian Government through the International Exhibition Insurance Program, Exhibition Partner – San Remo and Principle Partners – None Entertainment Company and NAB.

The Gallery staged a number of special events throughout the Renaissance exhibition which attracted new audiences including highly popular San Remo Chef and Curator dinners in conjunction with ACT Tourism’s Enlighten Festival in March 2012.

The post San Remo. Bringing more quality Italian culture to your family, as exhibition partner of the Renaissance appeared first on San Remo.

I love this painting because …

zynke — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:16:20 +0000

San Remo has a long history of bringing the best of Italian culture and tradition to Australian families. San Remo was the Exhibition Partner of the exhibition “Renaissance: 15th &16th Century Italian painting of the Accademia Carrara, Bergamo at the National Gallery of Australia from 9th December 2011 to 9th April 2012.

This is perhaps the finest quality exhibition of Renaissance art ever to travel to Australia.

The quality of the art is evident. You don’t even have to be an expert on Art or Art History to be able to be impressed by the quality. That was evident when we asked a few different people to talk about their favourite paintings in the exhibition ranging from a child to the Director of the National Gallery, from a broadcaster to business people – the quality was so evident, people found it easy to talk about the art.

“Cate” on Saint Sebastian		Maurice Crotti on Saint Sebastian
Maurice Crotti on Perugino’s Nativity		Maurice Crotti on Previtali’s painting for the Cassotti family
Michael Keelan on Titian’s Madonna and Child		Michael Neale on Bassano and the sacredness of family
Ron Radford AM on Lorenzo Lotto		Simeran Maxwell on Crivelli’s Madonna & Child
Maurice Crotti on Moroni’s portrait of a child		Lucina Ward on the Story of Virginia

By the way, like art, you don’t have to be a pasta expert to be able to recognise the quality of San Remo pasta – you just have to taste it!

“Cate” on Saint Sebastian

Never underestimate how much kids see quality. They understand art and they look at things for how they really are. Cate connects with this painting, thinking about what Saint Sebastian would have been like as a person.

Maurice Crotti on Saint Sebastian

In this short film, Mr Crotti recognises both the excellence of Raphael’s technical artistry and his enlightened brilliance, painting the Saint at absolute peace; making the painting about the person more than the traditional story of Saint Sebastian.

Maurice Crotti on Perugino’s Nativity

Here, Mr Crotti compares the work of the teacher, Perugino, to the work of his student, Raphael, and sees a common thread of light colours bringing a sense of peace and putting us at ease.

Maurice Crotti on Previtali’s painting for the Cassotti family

Art is often an insight into life at that time. In this painting from almost 500 years ago, we see the faces of the donors, Mr Cassotti and his wife. As Mr Crotti observes, they are painted into the painting in their period clothes and surrounded by rich fabrics – from which much of their wealth was derived.

Michael Keelan on Titian’s Madonna and Child

Michael Keelan is a broadcaster and horticulturalist. It is no wonder that he was instantly captivated by a renaissance work that was part of a trend, placing religious figures into local landscapes, which lead to the landscape art traditions that followed. Keelan sees the link between Titian painting in the early 1500s and Streeton painting in the late 1800s.

Michael Neale on Bassano and the sacredness of family

Here Michael Neale talks about a religious painting that seems to say something about the importance of family in the context of the new enlightened understanding of the Renaissance.

Ron Radford AM on Lorenzo Lotto

Here, the Director of the National Gallery of Australia, Ron Radford AM gives a wonderful explanation of why he sees the self portrait of Lorenzo Lotto as so important in the context of this collection from Bergamo. We take so much for granted, such as portraits viewed from straight on, but the Director of the Gallery explains that this would have been quite unusual at the time of painting.

Simeran Maxwell on Crivelli’s Madonna & Child

As a Curator at the National Gallery of Australia, Simeran Maxwell helps us to decode the rich symbolism of the Madonna and Child by Crivelli. Who would have thought there was so much meaning in an apple, a cherry a carnation and a cucumber!

Maurice Crotti on Moroni’s portrait of a child

One of the great things about family is that, as we get older, we see the youth and vitality of the next generation bursting into our lives. In this film, Maurice Crotti rejoices in Moroni’s ability to capture that sentiment exactly.

Lucina Ward on the Story of Virginia

As a Curator at the National Gallery of Australia, Lucina Ward helps us to read the story of Virginia the Roman out of a painting that was perhaps originally intended for a bridal chamber!

San Remo Helps Bring More Quality Italian Culture to Australia

zynke — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:14:06 +0000

Continuing its tradition of bringing Italian Culture and Quality to Australian families, San Remo announced today that it has become the Exhibition Partner for the landmark Renaissance: 15th and 16th Century Italian Paintings exhibition to be staged at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra from December 2011 to April 2012. This is an important chapter in San Remo’s long Italian tradition in Australia.

“The San Remo family is committed to quality” said Michael Neale, Head of Sales & Marketing at San Remo. “As a result, we were delighted to be able to assist with bringing this exhibition of the finest Italian art that has ever come to Australia.”

San Remo has a long history of bringing the best of Italian tradition & culture to Australian families. It has played an integral role in making pasta a family favourite meal in most households. It has also played an important role in developing a durum wheat industry in Australia, making sure that there is plenty of top grade durum wheat needed to make pasta in Australia of the quality of San Remo pasta.

The exhibition will open on 9th December 2011 and will run until 9th April 2012. It will feature Renaissance masterpieces by Raphael, Botticelli, Bellini and Titian as well as lesser known artists from the same era. More than 70 works on canvas and panel made between 1400 and 1600 in central and northern Italy will be on display providing an unparalleled opportunity for Australians to experience the creative splendour of the Early and High Renaissance.
The collection is on loan from the Accademia Carrara, Bergamo whilst it is undergoing renovations.

“This is the first time that there has been an exhibition of early Renaissance paintings in Australia and the first time that paintings by artists such as Raphael, Botticelli, and Bellini have been seen in this country,” said Shanthini Naidoo, Assistant Director of the National Gallery of Australia. “The Renaissance exhibition is a fantastic opportunity for Australian families to see the works of these Italian Masters without having to travel abroad. We are delighted to be partnering with a quality and iconic brand like San Remo to stage the exhibition in Australia.”

The partnership will feature 2 special San Remo Chef and Curator Dinners as part of the ACT Tourism’s Enlighten Festival on Saturday, 3 March 2012 and Saturday 10 March 2012. The evening will include special late night viewing of the exhibition and speakers at the dinner will include National Gallery of Australia Exhibition Curator, Christine Dixon; Executive Chef James Kidman; and San Remo Brand Ambassador, Adam Swanson.

TheRenaissance exhibition will be presented at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra. The gallery is open from 10am to 5pm every day of the exhibition other than Christmas day. There will be summer late opening on Saturday nights until 7pm after 10th December 2011. See: www.nga.gov.au

San Remo Appoints Michael Weldon as Brand Advocate

zynke — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 01:50:55 +0000

San Remo Pasta announced today that it has appointed Michael Weldon to a growing list of Brand Advocates that includes leading chef Adam Swanson and Netballer Julie Corletto.

Weldon became well known to the Australian public this year for his unbridled desire to learn more about food in a popular reality TV cooking show.

“I grew up in Adelaide and always knew that San Remo was something special” says Weldon. “It’s like the kids in the Barossa Valley growing up to really understand the difference between good and bad wine, I have come to understand that you can taste the difference when you use a top quality pasta like San Remo.”

“The problem is, not many people in Australia really understand pasta – not even some of the best chefs. It’s like we are only just discovering its cultural background now. I see that this is a great opportunity for me to learn about pasta and help others to see the flexibility of great quality pasta.”

Michael is an Adelaide boy from the increasing trendy inner northern suburb of Prospect. He long held interest in good food and his natural talent for cooking was liberally encouraged by friends and flatmates but Michael ultimately drew his inspiration from his family, citing his mother as a key source of encouragement in his life at the moment.

“Michael’s strong family values sit very well with our brand” says Michael Neale, Head of Sales & Marketing at San Remo. “We have a number of wonderful brand advocates associated with our brand – all of them with fantastic family stories. Michael fits beautifully into this group.”

Neale sees the Australia public sharing a learning adventure with Weldon.

“We believe that Australia is starting to develop an understanding about the differences between poor quality and a good quality pasta like San Remo, much like our developing understanding of wine thirty or forty years ago. I think the public have loved watching Michael learn about food on television and now we believe that they will love learning about pasta culture and tradition with him” says Neale.

San Remo has a reputation for making excellent pasta in traditional dry format and fresh pasta, including Sfoglia Ravioli.

2012 Good Chef Bad Chef Pasta Tips

In 2012 San Remo became a proud sponsor of Good Chef, Bad Chef – the show where a chef and a nutritionist with two vastly different opinions cook up a storm in the kitchen and let the viewers decide what is best for them.

Throughout the series, Chef, Restaurateur and San Remo Brand Ambassador Adam Swanson provides viewers with special tips on cooking pasta. His tips are designed to help viewers get the most out of their pasta experience and to prepare it in a way that their family will love.

Pasta Tip “Durum Wheat”

In this clip Adam explains that top quality pasta like San Remo does not need to be overcomplicated with sauce. He reminds you to keep it simple! For your next dish try your San Remo pasta with olive oil, parsley and parmesan. It’s quick, easy and delicious!

Pasta Tip “Experiment With Pasta”

In this clip Adam explains how in Italy, different pasta shapes are served with different sauces according to available produce. What does this mean? Adam suggests to experiment with your pasta! Serve it with some delicious local produce according to what’s in season!

Pasta Tip “The Pasta Process”

In this clip Adam explains how wine makers and pasta makers have a lot in common. Just as a wine maker sources the best quality grapes, a pasta maker sources the best quality Australian durum wheat. Adam reminds us to try the pasta before you add the sauce to taste the difference.

Pasta Tip “Storing Pasta”

In this clip Adam provides some insightful tips on storing pasta. Next time you have some left over dry pasta, store it in an airtight container and keep it in the pantry in a cool, dry position. For left over fresh pasta, place it in an airtight container in the fridge away from poultry and meats.

2011 Julie Corletto Recipe/Tip Advertisements

zynke — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 05:42:34 +0000

As part of their sponsorship arrangements with Netball Australia in 2011, San Remo made Two TV Advertisements with Julie Corletto. These advertisements follow up the advertisements San Remo made with Julie in 2008 (then Julie Prendergast).

Strozzapreti Pasta and Chunky Bolognaise Sauce

In this advertisement, Julie Corletto is cooking using San Remo fresh Strozzapreti pasta and San Remo Chunky Bolognaise sauce. Julie shares a secret with us. If you heat the sauce in a frying pan rather than the microwave, you can take the pasta out of the water it is cooking in and add it to the sauce in the frying pan. This gives the pasta meal a professional finish and flavour. Try it!

Wholemeal Penne with Mince, Tomato, Lemon and Fetta

One important tip to remember about San Remo Wholemeal pasta is that it has its own great nutty flavour that is different to standard San Remo pasta. That means to make the most of it, don’t use it in the same way that you would use standard San Remo pasta but rather try it with recipes that are specifically designed to complement the nutty flavour of the wholemeal pasta. In this television advertisement, Julie Corletto shares a recipe that has been designed using lamb mince and fetta specifically to complement the pasta.

San Remo Grows Support for International Netball

zynke — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 04:38:22 +0000

Major Australian netball sponsor San Remo pasta is growing its support for the international game across the Tasman.

The leading pasta brand has appointed netball star Camilla Lees (Millie) as the new face of San Remo in New Zealand.

Millie is a squad member of New Zealand’s national netball team, the Silver Ferns, as well as a player for the Wellington-based Central Pulse team.

She joins Australian Netball Diamond Julie Corletto, who is San Remo’s netball brand ambassador in Australia.

Julie has appeared in San Remo advertising campaigns and highlights the Australian National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) recommendations to eat four to five serves of grain based foods, such as pasta, every day.

Millie will have a similar role as San Remo brand ambassador in New Zealand.

She will appear in television and print advertising, attend San Remo events and act as an official spokesperson for the company.

She will also reinforce the connection between healthy food choices and an active lifestyle.

Millie’s appointment follows San Remo’s renewed and expanded sponsorship arrangement with Australasia’s premier netball league, the ANZ Championship.

San Remo is the official pasta and pasta sauce of the ANZ Championship as well as ball sponsor and ball kids sponsor at ANZ Championship games.

San Remo Head of Sales & Marketing, Michael Neale, said Millie’s appointment formed part of San Remo’s growing commitment to netball internationally.

“San Remo is a strong supporter of the netball community in Australia,” he said.

“We sponsor all levels of the game from the national league and ANZ Championship through to Netball Australia’s grassroots San Remo NetSetGO! child development program.

“San Remo is now extending its support of netball into New Zealand, where we saw an opportunity to replicate the success of our brand ambassador program.

“Millie brings together a number of features that make her an ideal choice for San Remo brand ambassador. She is an elite sports person who juggles conflicting demands to achieve her goals, which many of our customers will relate to.

“She is also a medical student who understands human nutrition through her studies as well as her sporting commitments. Millie also has a wonderful nature and some family stories that are a great fit with San Remo’s strong family-oriented brand.

“But most importantly, Millie loves San Remo pasta, which means she will speak from the heart to represent us well.”

Millie said she was looking forward to playing an active role in promoting healthy lifestyles as the new face of San Remo.

“I grew up on a farm in the country where we ate good quality food every day,” she said. “Mum often cooked pasta, and since San Remo has been involved with netball, I now recognise it as the same brand my mum used.

“Now that I’ve moved out of home to study medicine and play netball, I eat San Remo pasta all the time. I love pasta so it’s a real honour to be appointed San Remo brand ambassador.

“It’s also a great opportunity for me to encourage New Zealanders to eat well, stay active and live a healthy lifestyle.”

The San Remo Macaroni Company is Australia’s largest pasta manufacturer. The company exports pasta and other food products to 38 countries around the world.

San Remo Launches Portion Controlled Pasta

zynke — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:45:27 +0000

San Remo has launched a range of premium, portion controlled pasta products designed to take the guess work out of entertaining and make balancing nutritional needs easier.

The new San Remo Traditional Egg Pasta nests contain 12% egg and come in handy packets of 12 individual portions, each with more protein than regular San Remo pasta.

Head of Sales and Marketing at San Remo, Mr Michael Neale, said Traditional Egg Pasta nests were the nutrition-conscious entertainer’s dream.

“Traditional Egg Pasta nests are a simple and elegant meal option and make serving nutritious food easy,” he said.

“In addition, they are an easy way to ensure people get enough grain based foods.”

Mr Neale said The National Health and Medical Research Council recommended that people eat four to five serves of grain based foods every day.

“Each Traditional Egg Pasta nest represents approximately one serve of grain based food,” he said.

“This means if you’re not getting enough grain based foods in your diet, you can add serves easily with San Remo’s Traditional Egg Pasta nests.”

To further streamline the food preparation process, San Remo has developed a handy ‘simple serving solutions’ guide to accompany the Traditional Egg Pasta nests.

“San Remo’s ‘simple serving solutions’ guide helps to facilitate the quick preparation of meals,” he said.

“This takes the guess work out of entertaining and simplifies the cooking process.

“We recommend people use one nest for a side dish, two for a generous entree and three for a standard sized main course.”

San Remo Traditional Egg Pasta nests are available in three varieties; Fettuccine, Pappardelle and Tripolina.

Fettuccine and Tripolina are available at selected Coles Retailers while the rest of the range can be found within Independent (IGA) retailers around the country.
