mexgrocer.co.uk becomes UK distributor of El Yucateco concentrates
mexgrocer.co.uk, a Times Top 50 Food Site and one of the best suppliers in The Independent's 50 Best Food websites, has become the official UK distributor for El Yucateco.
El Yucateco is a leading producer of authentic Mexican sauces, condiments and concentrates. Its product lines include:
Tamarind Concentrate, made from the tropical fruit grown throughout Mexico. With its sweet and distinctively sour flavour, this pulp is used in savoury and sweet Latin American dishes and snacks
Jamaica Concentrate, an extract of the roselle, or hibiscus, flower. This is a refreshing tea-like drink with a natural flavour, best enjoyed cold. A diuretic, hibiscus is well known for its healthy, cleansing effect on the body
Horchata, a traditional Mexican drink. A blend of rice, almonds and a hint of cinnamon, El Yucateco Horchata is all natural.
Katya Torres, CEO of mexgrocer.co.uk, said: "El Yucateco is a hugely popular brand in Mexico, where millions love its products. These concentrates are varied in taste and highly refreshing. I know British people will embrace El Yucateco products, just as they have with all authentic Mexican products available at mexgrocer.co.uk."
El Yucateco concentrates add a tasty element to some of Mexico's most famous cocktails, such as the Hibiscus Margarita, using the Jamaica Concentrate.
