Great Taste Award-winning dressing brand TOSS has launched what it claims is the UK’s first squeezy pesto.

The new Hey Pesto product, priced at £5.99, is rolling out through wholesalers Maholo and Suma this autumn.

TOSS said the launch is designed to offer a more convenient alternative to traditional jarred pesto, with the product packaged for squeezing, drizzling and spreading across a range of meals.

Hey Pesto is made with sunflower seeds, fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil, and is dairy-free, nut-free, vegan and gluten-free.

The product can be used across pasta, salads, sandwiches, eggs, roasted vegetables, chicken and fish.

TOSS was founded in November 2025 by London-based sisters Grace and Sophie Devlin, with the aim of bringing more innovation to the salad dressing and wider condiment category.

Its existing range is stocked by retailers including Eat 17, Harrods, Holland & Barrett, Panzer’s, Selfridges, Superette and more than 100 farm shops and delis.

Co-founder Sophie Devlin said the idea for the business came from becoming increasingly focused on ingredient labels and gut health.

She said: “It felt ironic that fresh, healthy salads were so often paired with dressings packed full of added sugars, ultra-processed ingredients, and emulsifiers.

“My sister Grace, a keen cook, and I realised the dressing aisle was drastically lacking disruption, so we set out to make something better.”

The brand positions its range around simple ingredient lists, with products free from refined sugar, artificial preservatives and emulsifiers.

Alongside Hey Pesto, the TOSS range includes Green Goddess, King Caesar, Miso Magic, Sweet Tahini Chick and Viva La Vinaigrette.

Sweet Tahini Chick has also received a Great Taste Award.

TOSS manufactures its products in Oxfordshire and is positioning the range as a versatile kitchen staple for dipping, drizzling, marinating and spreading as well as dressing salads
