With 86% of UK consumers saying they want to eat more Eastern Mediterranean cuisine when dining out¹, this launch offers a fresh opportunity to elevate fast food menus with vibrant, on-trend flavours. The region – spanning Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Syria, Jordan, and parts of North Africa – is known for its rich culinary heritage, bold spices, and plant-based ingredients.
The new Santa Maria range includes six versatile, vegan-friendly, lactose-free products:
Shawarma Seasoning – A warming blend of paprika, cumin, lemon zest, coriander, cinnamon, and chili.
Zaatar Seasoning – Herbal and earthy with sesame nuttiness and citrusy sumac.
Tahini Sauce – Rich sesame flavour with a touch of lemon bitterness.
Harissa Sauce – Smoky, spicy chili heat balanced with sweetness and citrus.
Preserved Lemon Paste – A punchy, convenient paste with aromatic peel and acidic pulp.
Chermoula Pesto – Fresh coriander and parsley with vinegar tang and chili-garlic heat.
Perfect for wraps, loaded fries, burgers, bowls, salads, and more, these products make it easy to add authentic Eastern Mediterranean flavour to fast food favourites – without slowing down service or adding prep complexity.
Barnaby MacAdam, Development Chef at Santa Maria Foodservice (Paulig PRO), said:
“We’re here to help operators unlock bold new flavours and create memorable menu moments. This range is all about versatility, speed, and impact – ideal for fast-paced kitchens looking to stand out.”
