Rather than having to book an airplane ticket to get a taste for the distinctive flavors that come from places like Argentina, Thailand, Morocco and more, this President's Choice line of cooking sauces easily adds ethnic flavor to dishes.

Each sauce embodies the best flavors of each region. For instance, 'Memories of Portugal' features spicy Piri Piri peppers, while 'Memories of Montego Bay' features a flavor profile derived from classic Caribbean fare.

The beauty of these cooking sauces is that they can be added to favorite Canadian comfort foods like chicken, pork and ribs for a true fusion of East-meets-West flavors and dishes. Rather than having to source these exotic flavors from an [ethnic store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madras-curry), this President's Choice line makes multicultural flavors easily available through Canadian grocery store locations like [Loblaws](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/za-atar-spice-blend).
