Celebrate Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo Day! It’s a great day for all lovers of spicy food and drink.

The Aztecs were first to use cocoa beans. They enjoyed a drink where cocoa beans and water were mixed with cornmeal, hot pepper and spices. To honour this and celebrate Cinco de Mayo we have Aztec Chocolate fudge. Our smooth chocolate fudge is mixed with hot pepper and cinnamon, giving three stages of flavour – cinnamon first quickly followed by chocolate, then finishing with a hit of hot pepper.

In gourmet foods we have a few different options to add a bit of spicy flair to your meals. Gourmet du Village offers a brand new sriracha fiery barbecue sauce.  Additionally, we have two of their baked dip mixes – fiery sriracha and spicy Mexican – as well as a spicy chipotle burger seasoning assortment.

From Belize, Mexico’s neighbour, we have the Marie Sharp’s line of hot sauces, which mix up into excellent dips for vegetables and chips in addition to being used as marinades or dipping sauces. They can also be used to flavour the water used for cooking rice and pasta or add kick to soups and chilis.

Why not choose a treat or two and add some spice to your day?
