Expansion of International Foods Range
Written on April 5th, 2019
From 8th April, Booths will be increasing the range of International Foods, with a variety of new products, brands and tastes from around the world. Our International Food buyer Haris said:
“The new International Foods range is much more reflective of modern day food trends and customer favourites. There’s so much choice out there for customers to choose from, it was difficult to pick the final range. I feel we now have a great mix of everyday favourites, authentic handmade artisan foods made both locally and beyond; as well as award winning meal kits and ingredients which are used by the top chefs from around the world. Now you can cook with these same ingredients in your own kitchen…”
Here’s a quick introduction to Haris’ top brands and products:
Capsicana
While travelling in the Americas with his Dad, founder Ben fell in love with the food and the flavours. When Ben returned to the UK, he was disappointed with the lack of authentic food he’d developed a taste for. What started as Ben importing ingredients to cook for friends and family, turned into what Capsicana is today.
