Bulgarian produce

ALL natural

We noticed there’s a real lack of incredible Bulgarian food in the UK, and a general lack of knowledge on what typical Bulgarian and Balkan food is. So we decided it’s time to champion our region’s delicacies, one product at a time.

The first product is our original blend lutenitsa – coarse-ground, no added sugar, no starch and no preservatives, exactly as it should be.

Roasted red peppers, roasted aubergine and tomato paste (100% Bulgarian tomatoes and nothing else) are blended and slow-cooked with a little sunflower oil for a real, authentic taste, then seasoned to perfection with salt, cumin & black pepper.

We use vegetables grown by Bulgarian farmers, in Bulgarian fields, ripened by sunlight. You won’t see any science in our ingredients list, we let the produce do the talking.

RILA's founder grew up eating lutenitsa for breakfast, lunch & dinner, and realised this isn’t something Bulgarians love because it’s part of our culture, we love it because it just tastes so damn good. It’s time for everyone to understand the joys of lutentisa.

All of that being said, Bulgarian food is also much more than lutenitsa and there's more products in the pipeline, we just need to know you like it.

If you like it, we’ll give you more.
