About Dominican Republic
Dominican Republic cuisine thrives on fresh, vibrant flavours influenced by African, Spanish, and Taino roots, featuring staples like plantains, rice, beans, and seafood. Our collection brings these tastes to your UK kitchen with premium products like Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut (425g), ideal for piña coladas, flan, or arroz con coco. Badia Sazon with Coriander & Annatto (198.4g) and Badia Sazon Tropical (191.4g) are seasoning powerhouses – use the coriander-annatto mix for tenderising meats in sancocho stew or seasoning pollo guisado. The tropical variant adds a zesty kick to grilled fish or mangu, the mashed plantain breakfast dish. Complete your pantry with Badia Iodized Salt (1.13kg), a pure, iodised essential for everyday cooking that ensures balanced seasoning without compromising health.

These high-quality imports from trusted Badia and Coco Lopez brands guarantee authenticity and freshness, with long shelf lives for convenient stocking. Whip up mangú con los tres golpes (plantains with eggs, salami, and cheese), or try coconut-infused rice pudding for dessert. Store seasonings in a cool, dry place to preserve potency, and refrigerate opened cream of coconut for up to two weeks. Whether you're hosting a Caribbean feast or exploring new recipes, these ingredients make Dominican cooking accessible and delicious at home.
