Cheese, pasta, and desserts: All the new launches for Shavuot

Shavuot is already around the corner, bringing with it new launches aimed directly at dairy-based cooking, hosting, and family meals: Italian cheeses, special pastas, new desserts, and quick solutions for the home kitchen. From Gad’s new stracciatella to Barilla’s limited-edition pastas – these are the new products that will take center stage on this year’s holiday table.

Ahead of Shavuot, Gad Dairy is expanding its Italian cheese portfolio with a new series of launches, led by one product that is already generating great curiosity among food lovers: Stracciatella 24%, launching for the first time in Israel’s retail market.

Stracciatella – strands of fresh mozzarella wrapped in cream – is considered one of the cheeses most closely associated with contemporary Italian cuisine, and will now also arrive on supermarket shelves. Gad suggests using it alongside focaccia, in salads, pastas, pizzas, and baked goods, thanks to its creamy texture and delicate milky flavor.

Alongside the stracciatella, the dairy is also launching a special holiday edition of Burrata Truffle 24%, filled with rich truffle cream, joining the brand’s burrata line.

Gad explains that this new launch series is designed to respond to changing Israeli consumer cooking and hosting habits, with an emphasis on combining modern culinary trends, convenience, and rich flavors.

The culinary brand Master Chef is expanding its home-cooking solutions category and launching a new product: Tortilla sheets designed to serve as a ready-made base for homemade pizza.

The new tortillas are designed with the right diameter and thickness for quick preparation of thin and crispy pizza – all you need to do is add sauce, cheese, and favorite toppings, place it in the oven for a few minutes, and you get a light and quick homemade pizza.

The product comes in a zippered package to maintain freshness and is suitable for spontaneous meals, casual hosting, or shared kitchen activity with children.

The launch joins the brand’s Italian product line, which recently also included gnocchi products imported from Italy.

Ahead of Shavuot, Osem presents a new product series designed to upgrade the holiday table – from desserts to hosting-friendly pastas.

In the baking aids category, a special edition pudding is launched in white chocolate praline and espresso chocolate praline flavors. The puddings are intended for making creams, cakes, and festive desserts, with rich flavors and a creamy texture.

Alongside the desserts, Osem is also expanding its Perfecto pasta line with three new shapes:

The new products are designed to provide convenient solutions for dairy hosting and festive dishes with an Italian twist.

The Italian pasta brand Barilla is launching a limited-edition pasta series ahead of Shavuot, including four unique types designed to elevate the holiday table.

The highlight is Fusilli Bucati Corti, launching for the first time in Israel – a hollow, spiral pasta designed to better capture sauces and maintain an al dente texture.

Alongside it, the launch includes Tressine pasta shaped like two braided strands, Paille Piano pasta combining green spinach pasta, and Castellane pasta shaped like ridged shells.

In addition, the brand continues offering a variety of ready-made sauces based on traditional Italian recipes, including Pomodoro, Basilico, Arrabbiata, and Toscana, as well as a new pizza sauce made from 100% Italian tomatoes.
