Iranian Food Products Marbella
Leo Foods: The Home of Iranian Foods in Marbella
Iranian or Persian cuisine is one of the most sophisticated of the Middle Eastern culinary repertoire. It is similar to some of its neighbours and yet quite distinctly different. Until now, it has been extremely difficult to buy the food products needed for Iranian/Persian dishes in Marbella, but at Leo Foods we have now changed that with our new range. Now, we can safely say that Leo Foods is the Costa del Sol’s leading Iranian food supplier, based in Marbella.
Iranian foods wholesaler and retailer Marbella
We have a significant range of Iranian products already in stock, and we expect to expand the products to meet the needs of restaurants and cafes serving the growing Iranian population in Marbella and beyond.
We can already supply the specialist Dum Sha rice and flours needed for flatbreads, as well as well as a selection of pickled vegetables, such as cucumbers. There are Sabzi beans and pomegranate paste, as well as Halim Mix and Fessenjan Stew, and Lime Juice for cooking.
Iranian drinks wholesaler and retailer Costa del Sol
We have Rock Saffron Candy, Mint Yoghurt drink and grape juice, as well as rose water, and essential part of many Iranian dishes. We also have refreshing mint water in stock.
Persian dishes you can make at home
A number of home cooks in Marbella are probably familiar with making the better known dishes of Middle Eastern cuisines, such as hummus, but now you can discover the deliciousness of Persian dishes as well, by shopping at Leo Foods.
The Persian Pot has a wonderful selection of recipes, such as Meatballs with Saffron Rice, or how about Rice with Broad Beans and Lamb Shank. You can easily obtain lamb shanks from a local butcher and we will supply the rest. Winter is a great time to make a warming Iranian Lamb Chickpea Soup called Abgoosht, and if you like aubergines, the Kashk-e-Bademjan is a tasty aubergine dip that goes well with flatbread.
Saveur introduces you to classical Persian dishes and explains why Iranian cuisine is legendary in the Middle East, and how the Persians elevated the cooking of rice to an art form. As it says, “ A perfect tahdig, the elusive crispy crust at the bottom of the pot that’s the highlight of many Persian rice dishes, is a point of pride for home cooks in Iran.” You can try this at home by buying Iranian rice at Leo Foods.
Visit us on weekdays for your Iranian food products. Leo Foods is the leading wholesaler and retailer of Iranian food products on the Costa del Sol, and we’re open every weekday in Nueva Campana, Marbella.
