Andalusia-based Costa de Almería has launched two new packs in its fresh, sliced pepper range QDelicias, which is specifically designed for the foodservice and catering sectors.

The 1.5kg and 2.5kg packs have already received serious interest from foodservice clients in the UK, Ireland and Germany, including one major high street name, according to the company.

According to Costa de Almería’s Noelia Medialdea at the Fruit Attraction trade show in Madrid, the firm has already begun selling some volumes of the convenience pepper brand through wholesalers in the UK, Belgium, France and the US, adding that the exporter is in talks with one major UK grocery retailer to stock single consumer and family-sized packs of the product.
