Napa Valley, CA, June 26, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Mezzetta® Specialty Foods, America’s favorite producer of imported and domestic peppers and olives, is challenging sandwich lovers, home cooks and food bloggers across the country to submit their recipe for “The Best Sandwich Ever” in the Sixth Annual Mezzetta Make That Sandwich contest. The grand prize winner will receive $25,000, while two runners-up will each win $1,000.
“We believe in sharing joy through food,” said Jeff Mezzetta, President, “and the Mezzetta Make That Sandwich contest does just that. We’re encouraging food lovers and cooks from all over the United States to think up the most vibrant, exciting and flavorful sandwich creations and share their inspiration and recipes with us, as well as family and friends.”
Whether you're at the beach, heading to a picnic, hosting a barbecue, or just don't feel like cooking in the heat, the humble sandwich is truly the perfect summer meal. But you can kiss those boring ham and cheese sandwiches goodbye. With Mezzetta olives, peppers, and spreads, it's easy and fun to add flavor and joy to any summer sandwich.
Exciting ingredients like Mezzetta Tamed Jalapeno Peppers will add the right amount of heat to any BBQ “sammy,” and contestants can get inventive with open-faced sandwiches or Panini using the popular Mezzetta Peperoncini and Feta Spread or Basil Pesto. The possibilities are endless.
