This super-sandwich meant creator Kirtsy Fonseca was highly commended in the Futura Foods Italian Mozzarella category at the Sandwich & Food to Go Designer of the Year 2026 competition. Here's what Kirsty had to say about her inspiration:
"This product was inspired by the desire to bring an authentic Italian experience into a convenient, on-the-go format. The star of the dish-IQF Italian mozzarella- shines in every bite, providing that creamy, melty texture and rich flavour that instantly elevates a simple flatbread.
"The combination of sunblush tomatoes, fresh pesto, and mozzarella pearls captures the essence of Mediterranean flavours while staying light, fresh, and visually appealing. Topped with peppery rocket and a balsamic glaze drizzle, it balances indulgence with a health-conscious approach, perfect for modern consumers seeking both taste and wellbeing.

It leverages the trend of premium, authentic ingredients in convenient formats, allowing the authenticity of Italian mozzarella to be enjoyed anywhere, anytime."
