Ecommerce success, Chilau Foods Debuts at 2023 Winter Fancy Food Show

Specialty Food Association

January 15th, 2023 -- It's pronounced “shil-lah” , says Founder and CEO, Michael Anderson. "The name derives from the Cubano term for crab stew, which gained popularity in Tampa’s Ybor City district during the 1920’s"

We’re proud to announce that our hit D2C brand, Chilau, is ready for the shelf and back of house. Chilau Stew Base makes it easy to create southern inspired recipes like Beef Stew, Shrimp and Grits, Gumbo, Smothered Chicken and more without all the hard work. Just choose your base mix, meat and veggies, then simmer and serve – it’s that simple! Plus, our bases are all natural with no preservatives or artificial flavors, so you can feel good about what you’re serving to family, friends and guests. New 8oz retail jars and bulk gallons are available to order following the Winter Fancy Food Show!

Chilau's best-selling flavors are Original Southern-Style, Low-country Citrus, Creole Trinity and Shrimp and Crab Boil. We’re excited to share the goodness of the south with the world and hope you'll join us on this delicious journey! Come see us and have a taste at booth 3046!
