In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Goya Foods, the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States, is blending cuisines from all over Latin America in five new delicious “Latin fusion” recipes. Goya, long-recognized as a leader in Latin American food, condiments and culinary tradition, distributes over 1,600 authentic products from Spain, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and South America.

“We take great pride in having built such a solid reputation among our consumers,” said Joseph Pérez, Senior Vice President. The Goya brand has become a symbol of authenticity among Hispanics as well as non-Hispanics interested in expanding their cooking experience. The recipes, developed by Goya’s Executive Chef, Fernando Desa, blends cuisine from various countries creating unique and harmonious dishes. “We want to celebrate the diversity of our community by embracing the combination of flavors that represent the best of Latin America,” states Desa.
