The Valley of Acacia Snacks & Sauces Manufacturers Ltd

Introduction

The Valley of Acacia is a snack and sauces manufacturer that will supply a range of ginger and pepper sauces with different flavours and fried snacks.

The Valley of Acacia snacks and sauces has all the resources in place to be a success. The founders are a partnership named Mr Koffi Mick Prevost and Ms Consuelo Borile Gomez. They both began their journey within the catering industry back in Spain where Koffi was an importer of African dry fruits, coffee and cocoa and Consuelo owned and successfully ran a small sandwich and coffee shop also in Spain.

Our HistoryThe original recipe for COBOGO SAUCES was invented and developed by Ms Florencia Gomez, whom is the mother of Consuelo Borile Gomez (Director of COBOGO SAUCES). Back home in Equatorial Guinea (Central Africa), Ms Florencia Gomez used fresh ingredients and exotic flavorings to prepare her sauces which was hugely appreciated by her restaurant customers. With Consuelo’s passion for cooking, she decided to resurrect her mothers’ successful sauce recipes here in the UK, and together with her husband Koffi Mick Prevost, they decided to go into business proposing more sauces. Today Cobogo Sauces have become a big success within the food condiment industry.
