Paul Brixey, head of UK marketing for Santa Maria, said: “Consumers are open to exciting and innovative Latin American dishes and the new range allows people to bring the continent’s wealth of vibrant and delicious dishes into their own home in a simple and convenient way.”

Brixey said the products can be used by consumers to “cook a straightforward meal or be more experimental”.
