Caffè Nero Partners With Plant-based Meat Brand To Launch Vegan Christmas Panini

Plant-based meat brand THIS and Caffé Nero have teamed up to launch the Vegan Festive Feast Panini right in time for Christmas. 

The vegan panini features plant-based turkey from THIS, cranberry and port sauce and fresh spinach leaves.

The Vegan Festive Feast Panini is available to buy now at 700 Caffè Nero locations across the UK priced at £4.60.

Marcus Denison-Smith, Marketing Director at Caffé Nero, said: "Vegan food has become a core part of our menu and is now a key part of any new menu launch.

"Our Christmas vegan food is always hugely popular, and I think we've developed with THIS something which will really excite our vegan and non-vegan customers alike, and I can't wait for everyone to try it."

THIS is one of the most popular and the most successful plant-based meat brands in the UK. The company creates hyper-realistic vegan meat using pea protein. THIS' range includes vegan chicken, vegan bacon and bacon lardons, sausages and meatballs. 

Andy Shovel, Co-Founder of THIS, said: "What we've created with Caffè Nero is possibly the lushest of all Christmas sandwiches. It's taking a traditionally meaty classic and making it plant-based, but without compromising on flavour or texture."

'THIS Isn't Bacon' and 'THIS Isn't Chicken' are available to buy online in The Vegan Kind - the UK's biggest online vegan store.
