This Summer, Brindisa Spanish Foods will bring Northern Spain’s favourite hot sauce, Salsa Bastarda, to the UK for the first time. Based on a centuries old recipe used by Cantabrian fishermen, the spicy sauces are made from a secret blend of peppers and are available in both a green and red variety.
With a fresh, slightly sharp aroma, the flavour of the milder green sauce is fruity with touches of spice and a lingering, moderately hot finish making it the perfect accompaniment to fish, seafood or vegetarian dishes. With its full, rounded flavour, notes of ripe tomato and a late arriving heat, the Bastarda Red Hot Sauce will give a boost to grilled meats, add spice to marinades, dips, and stews or give a kick to a Bloody Mary.
‘Traditionally, Cantabrian fishermen were travelling thousands of miles with very basic equipment and boats by modern standards. Making the sauce was something of a ritual for the sailors but sadly, fell out of use over time. It is wonderful that a local producer has chosen to resurrect a recipe that has been responsible for revitalizing generations of seafarers and we can’t wait to bring it to the UK. Viva Salsa Bastarda!” Says Brindisa founder Monika Linton.
The Green and Red 120g Bastarda Sauces have an RRP of £6.25 and are available via Brindisa’s wholesale channel for retail and foodservice customers.
