Bennet & Bernard Group launches 'Black Vanilla Gourmet' food store

Bennet & Bernard Group have now forayed into retail segment with the launch of Goa’s first gourmet store, ‘Black Vanilla Gourmet’, in the plush neighbourhood of Panaji.

This new world store will provide a taste of exclusively imported food products from over 40 countries and is a virtual heaven for every foodie.

Spread over 1000 sq ft, Black Vanilla Gourmet is set to provide a unique experience with its eclectic range and would cater to a target audience that has a penchant for experimental food.

Some of their signature offerings include a wide range of premium international products like Italian truffles, Australian lamb racks, Norwegian salmon, Canadian lobster, Chilean Sea Bass, Norwegian Trout and A2 Milk from Australia to name a few.

They also have varieties of daily micro greens, free-range eggs, sauces, spices, personal care and home care items and much more.

The store also has a live kitchen area to promote exotic gourmet food recipes along with exotic salads and sandwiches.

“The idea behind the launch of this new store is to provide the very best gourmet products to discerning consumers. As founders of leading food chains in Goa and being passionate foodies ourselves, we believe that everyone deserves access to good produce and quality ingredients,” shared Lincoln Bennet Rodrigues, Founder and Chairman, Bennet & Bernard Group.

Black Vanilla Gourmet has emerged from the epicurean home of Bennet and Bernard, who have put Goa on the map for excellent continental foods and steaks through their restaurants Barrels & Bones, Thirsty Bear, Black Vanilla, Crab & Co and a FMCG brand, Artisan Deli.

“The eating habits of Indian consumers have been evolving – from traditional foods to global food flavours. Hence there is no disputing the fact that India is now an attractive market for gourmet and international food products thanks to the constellation of various forces. Going forward, we will look at opening more stores in Goa and other metropolitan cities,” added Lindsay Bernard Rodrigues, Co-Founder and Director, Bennet & Bernard Group.
