Make A Date With Tigg’s
More Than A bit On The Side
Introducing a saucy new look for Tigg’s. These four dashing, vibrant and versatile dressings WLTM delicious new food lovers to make a splash with. They must have a GSOH, love the natural look – and be adventurous in the kitchen.
Tigg’s dressings are bold and bright individuals, each with a different personality. Yet all are looking to be the perfect match. There’s Sweet Original – an all round good guy; Beetroot – a fave with hot chicks; Pepper & Mustard – the healthier one; or maybe Basil & Pea – for those who prefer super smooth.
The Tigg-olution
Farming brothers Jacob and Sam James are the executive grandsons, and custodians of Tigg’s, based in the rural idyll of Herefordshire. But the Tigg-olution didn’t start here. The brand is based on secret recipes belonging to their beloved granny Anne – a former Miss New Zealand. Anne left New Zealand in 1954, and after six weeks spent at sea, she arrived in England with the world at her feet. A true love story, Anne ventured into the English countryside and met her ‘perfect match’ in Jacob and Sam’s grandfather Alan, and they settled in England. As a young mother of three, Anne – or Tigg as she was affectionately known – rustled up a host of secret recipes. All were inspired by the ‘zingy’ flavours of her Kiwi roots – and the result was fresh and vibrantly coloured, all natural dressings. These sacred recipes have since been handed down two generations – and today, they are Tigg’s.
“We are two young, driven and passionate brothers who just so happened to be the biggest fans of our gran’s amazing creations. Having taken them to university, and indulged in their ability to make our moderate cooking skills reflect those of Raymond Blanc, we knew we had to give them a go and get them out into the world,” says Jacob.
Tiggy secret
Tigg’s use delicious Apple Cider Vinegar – which is believed to have many health benefits – in all four of their dressings. Also naturally colourful, their bold palette of colours make a striking statement on shelves, on the table – and in a variety of tasty dishes.
So meet the Tigglets….
Sweet Original – Self-confessed as being ‘mind-blowing’ in a bed (of greens), Sweet Original is based on a blend of fresh tomatoes, onions and cider vinegar – and is the most versatile dressing around
Basil & Pea – This one’s a bit too cool for school, regularly joking that they prefer to ‘undress’ when it comes down to it, but don’t be fooled. Basil & Pea is a super match for all sorts when you get past the fresh exterior
Beetroot – According to rumour, the bold Beetroot is more than happy to be one’s bit on the side (of a plate) and is currently, proudly showing off its award status of 2016
Pepper & Mustard – ‘Likes to lead a healthy lifestyle (only 21 calories per serving) and a real crowd pleaser at family events. Subtle P&M is definitely Marinade Material
NEW Smokin’ Tomato – A supremely confident and rather good looking bottle, which promises to leave you a little flush under the collar – but not too hot! Smoky and spicy – and goes with all things nicely.
Now let’s get Tiggy with it
There’s so much more to Tigg’s dressings than simply splashing on salads – although that is rather fabulous too. From marinades, relishes and dips to an incredible ingredient you can cook with, Tigg’s is one smart bottle. Use it in all meat, fish and vegetable casseroles, as an accompaniment to fish, zinging up a sandwich or stir into pasta – the options are endless.
Jacob and Sam – Tiggy brothers
Sam says: “Finding one’s perfect match in life can be a tricky affair, but when it comes to food, Tigg’s has it covered. Life is all the better with a smile on your face, and we hope that our “Tigglets” can help achieve this in a fun, healthy and of course, tasty way. Each ‘Tigglet’ has their own ‘lonely heart’ style advert, attempting to persuade you that they are indeed either your, or your food’s perfect match. We would highly recommended taking each of them out ‘on a date’ before deciding which one is the one for you!”
Tigg’s dressings are available in 250g bottles, with an RRP from £3.99
They are available on Ocado, from farm shops, delis and independents across the UK, and selected Wyevale Garden Centres.
