BRINDISA HAS BECOME A DESTINATION FOR LOVERS OF ALL THINGS IBERIAN
Since Monika Linton first set out to introduce Spanish ingredients to the UK in 1988, Brindisa has grown into one of the country’s best-known importers of high-quality, carefully sourced Spanish food. Its products range from the world-famous Ibérico bellota ham and manchego cheese, to lesser-known delicacies such as morcilla and mojama. Brindisa has become a destination for lovers of all things Iberian. At lunch time, the hot chorizo and rocket roll, served outside the shop, is a treat not to be missed.
