The consumer goods giant has developed three lines - balsamic vinegar with orange, red wine vinegar with shallots and olive oil with a touch of black olive.

Unilever has secured listings at Asda, Tesco and Waitrose for the products, which have an RRP of GBP2.79 (US$4.47). Sainsbury's will stock the dressings from next month.
