Add a touch of spice to National Barbecue Week with Primula

23rd May 2012 Print
Burger Cheese Burger

Primula, the uniquely squeezy cheese, is firing up for National Barbecue Week (28 May - 3 June 2012) with the launch of an exciting new burger cheese variety.

It is set to be this summer's taste sensation, designed to complement and bring out the flavours of BBQ foods by adding red pepper, dill and chillies, to the delicious cheesy taste of Primula products, but kicks up the heat with a natural hint of Paprika.

The convenient squeezy tube means Primula Burger Cheese is ideal to take on picnics or for alfresco eating. It can be used instead of conventional cheese slices and easily squeezed onto burgers, sausages and steaks, making it a versatile zesty addition to any summer barbecue or picnic treat.

As with all the Primula range, the new Primula Burger Cheese contains more real cheese than any other leading brand and contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

New Primula Burger Cheese is already available nationwide through Sainsbury's RRP around £1.

1 small onion, finely chopped
500g lean minced beef
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
