Santa Maria Brings the Bold Flavours of the Eastern Mediterranean to UK Catering Menus

Promoted Content - Sep 24, 2025

Paulig PRO, the brand behind Santa Maria, has unveiled a vibrant new range of Eastern Mediterranean sauces, seasonings, and pastes – designed to help UK contract caterers meet growing demand for global, health-conscious cuisine.

With 86% of UK diners keen to explore Eastern Mediterranean flavours when eating out, this launch couldn’t be better timed. From shawarma wraps and fusion burgers to loaded fries and fresh bowls, the new range offers chefs a simple way to elevate everyday dishes with bold, crave-worthy ingredients.

The six-product lineup includes Shawarma and Zaatar seasonings, Tahini and Harissa sauces, Preserved Lemon Paste, and Chermoula Pesto – all vegan, lactose-free, and ready to use. Developed specifically for OOH operators, the range delivers versatility, consistency, and speed – without compromising on flavour.

Barnaby MacAdam, Development Chef at Santa Maria Foodservice, said: “This range empowers chefs to add an Eastern Med twist to familiar favourites or create something entirely new. It’s all about unlocking flavour, driving footfall, and delivering memorable dining experiences.”

The Eastern Mediterranean – spanning Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, and beyond – is known for its rich culinary heritage, bold spices, and plant-based ingredients. With UK consumers increasingly seeking healthier options and willing to pay more for quality, this trend offers real commercial potential.
