Introducing Mitica® Piri Piri Cocktail, a New Portuguese-Inspired Spicy Snack Mix

New York, NY, November 5, 2024 – Mitica® Piri Piri Cocktail is the newest snack mix from cheese and specialty food importer Forever Cheese. Smoky, spicy, and unexpected, it’s a blend of peanuts, cashews, rice crisps, fava beans, and crunchy fried corn coated with a piri piri seasoning mix. This hot pepper is commonly found in Portuguese and southern African cuisine. Piri Piri Cocktail is the newest addition to the importer’s popular line of Mitica® nuts and snack mixes.

Forever Cheese developed Piri Piri Cocktail in tandem with their longtime producer partner in Valencia, Spain. The crunchy snack mix is novel yet familiar tasting: spicy and smoky with a touch of sweetness. It can be enjoyed as a savory snack alongside a sandwich, served at happy hour with beer or cocktails, or used to add color, crunch, and spice to a cheese board.

“Using piri piri to season our newest Mitica® snack mix was a natural choice,” says Marketing Manager Chelsea Bryant. “We have been importing cheeses and accompaniments from Portugal for many years and have fallen in love with the culinary traditions there. Piri piri is ubiquitous, and every restaurant has their own version of hot sauce made with the pepper. This snack mix is a tribute to that flavor, which we think will have universal appeal.”

Mitica® Piri Piri Cocktail is available in 3.53oz minitubs, 750g small tubs, and bulk 3.5kg formats.

Mitica® products are sold in grocery and specialty stores throughout the U.S.
