Full range of Vegamo plant-based sauces: baba ganoush and hummus in six varieties, 100% plant-based, gluten-free and preservative-free

Traditional Baba Ganoush: a spread made from roasted aubergines, typical of Middle Eastern tradition, with a smoky flavour and velvety texture. Versatile in the kitchen, ideal as a starter or side dish.

Classic Hummus: made from chickpeas. A well-known favourite appreciated for its rich taste and balanced nutritional profile.

Sweet & Spicy Hummus: thanks to a subtle sweet note, this is a new take on the spicy hummus already available on the market.

Lemon Hummus: an innovative flavour with a fresh and delicate citrus note. This variant expands the range with a lighter option suitable for various consumption moments.

Caramelised Onion Hummus: a gourmet addition with a well-balanced flavour profile. The caramelised onions bring a pleasant balance of sweetness and creaminess, ideal also for more refined pairings.

Red Pepper Hummus: featuring a richer and more distinctive flavour profile. The peppers add intensity and character, offering a vibrant option for multiple usage contexts.

Plant-based sauces made without preservatives, thanks to HPP technology

All products are made using HPP (High Pressure Processing), a cold-pressing technique that ensures food safety without preservatives. This method helps preserve the sauces’ organoleptic and nutritional properties while also extending their shelf life. All our sauces are 100% plant-based, gluten-free and preservative-free.

A growing market: +19% for hummus in 2024

Thanks to its practical format and balanced recipe, hummus is increasingly appreciated by Italian consumers—not only as a healthy snack, but also as a versatile ingredient to enhance salads, cold dishes and appetisers. This growing interest is confirmed by market data: the hummus segment reached a value of €22 million by the end of 2024, with a +19% year-on-year growth (source: Nielsen, 2025). A positive trend driven by growing nutritional awareness, plant-based dietary habits and increased interest in international flavours, positioning hummus as a strategic, high-potential product.
