BRAMPTON, ON, May 16, 2012 /CNW/ - Bring on the barbecues, picnics and parties! The President's Choice® brand - only available at Loblaw banner stores - has everything to celebrate summer with family and friends. From delicious burgers to tasty desserts, the President's Choice® brand offers a tantalizing line-up of new and innovative foods that are sure to help take summer entertaining to a new level.
"Canadians love to barbecue so we've created a variety of foods to keep grilling interesting," says Maria Charvat, vice president, Product Development at Loblaw Companies Limited. "And when it comes to burgers, we've got plenty of choices - whether you prefer beef, salmon or chicken, there's something for everyone this summer."
Sizzling summer burgers
Nothing says summer like a burger fresh off the grill. The President's Choice® brand offers more than ten different burgers to choose from!
Here are few that we think just may turn out to be your favourites:
-
PC® Blue Menu™ Angus Thick & Juicy™ Lean Beef Burgers: Not only are they the #1 selling PC® burger in our stores, but they also won the favourite frozen burger
category in Canadian Family magazine's 2011 Canadian Family Food
Awards!
-
New! PC® Thick & Juicy™ Jalapeno Cheese Beef Burgers: We invite all heat-seekers
to try this mouth-watering concoction, complete with Monterey Jack
cheese and chunks of jalapeno and serrano peppers. It sizzles not just
on the grill, but on your palate.
-
Must try! PC® Thick & Juicy™ Double Prime Sliders Mini Beef Burgers: Familiar with
the joy of eating an extra thick burger you can really sink your teeth
into? We blend prime rib and sirloin to maximize the beefy flavour and
make them thicker than our regular mini burgers for more heartiness.
We're positive these will be a hit at your next barbecue!
- Must Try! PC® Round Pretzel Buns: Introducing the pretzel bun! We've put a new twist on tradition by transforming German-style pretzels into soft and chewy buns with a glorious amber brown surface. We dare you to try them and not be wowed!
Crank up the condiments
The President's Choice® brand has introduced an array of condiments that will take your summer meal from awesome to out of this world.
-
Must try! PC® Condiments: Try our chunky, tasty new condiments including
savoury-sweet relishes and toppings like Sofrito, Corn Relish, Smoky
Ketchup-Style Sauce, Zucchini Relish, Caramelized Onion Relish and
Maple Mustard.
- Must try! PC® Greek Yogurt Dip: You know that creamy, thick Greek yogurt of ours that you can't get enough of? It inspired us to add three new PC® Greek Yogurt Dips to our collection. They'll kick up your veggies, skewers and salads and will blow the lid off your burgers. Available in Jalapeno, Cucumber, Dill and Lemon and Roasted Red Pepper varieties.
The coolest desserts
There's always room for dessert. With a range of new sweet and icy President's Choice® treats you won't have to look far for a tasty way to cap-off your meal this summer.
-
Must try! PC® The Decadent™ Ice Cream Sandwiches: We took two of our PC® Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies made with real butter, crunchy
peanut butter and chunks of real milk chocolate, and placed thick,
creamy peanut butter ice cream between them… Hallelujah!
-
New! PC® Ice Cream Cones: When we say ice cream cones, we really mean ice cream cones! You won't see the word "frozen dessert" on our new ball top ice
cream cones. Choose from mint chocolate ice cream with a chocolatey
core and a topping of cookie pieces, or peanut butter ice cream with a
peanut butter core and a topping of roasted peanuts - yum!
- Must Try! PC® Plumcots and Flavour Burst™ Blueberries: For a healthier dessert option, try new PC® Plumcots - a cross between a plum and an apricot. Our plumcots are intensely sweet and come in an array of colours, textures and flavours. If berries are more your style, you'll be amazed by our delicious new jumbo blueberries handpicked from California's San Joaquin Valley and bursting with flavour!
