Peru Brochure Proof (2) - Verstegen Spices and Sauces (UK)

For the latest taste innovation from Verstegen, we shine a light on the rich and varied cuisine of Peru and
present to you 9 brand new products, enabling you to easily create a totally authentic and delicious taste
experience for your customers to savour and enjoy.
Over time, Peruvian cuisine has been influenced by the kitchens of Asia, Africa, Europe and neighbouring South American
countries too. With a highly diverse landscape consisting of coastal regions, mountains and rainforests, almost every
conceivable food type is available, and the variety of unique vegetables and local dishes on offer is truly astounding.
On our quest to discover the secrets of Peruvian cuisine we unearthed the following key ingredients, all of which are used
within our latest range of Peruvian inspired products.
