Keys to Korean Taste with Santa Maria
Korean food is currently recognised as one of the fastest-growing cuisines in the UK . Its popularity is being fuelled by Hallyu, or the ‘Korean wave’, which has been showering the world since the 90’s.
This culinary movement presents an incredible commercial opportunity for QSR operators. By simply adding a Korean twist to their menus, operators can tap into this demand. Santa Maria’s newly launched range of mainstream Korean sauces, seasonings and pastes allow chefs to do just that.
Suitable across all dayparts, the range includes five vegan and lactose-free products: a Black Pepper Soy Sauce, a Fermented Chili Sauce, a Fermented Soy & Chili Paste, a Chili & Sesame Seasoning, and a Kimchi Paste Chili & Garlic. Each product has been carefully crafted to deliver the rich, complex taste that Korean cuisine is loved for, making it easier than ever for chefs to bring this trending cuisine to life.
