What the professionals say…
I’ve been using Essential Cuisine’s stocks since they were introduced and I can honestly say that they’re the best I know. They are equal to a good, home-prepared stock. I find the taste, flavour and texture every bit as good as a liquid stock. You get none of the powdery flavour usually associated with a powdered stock, and they dissolve instantly.

Essential Cuisine might be considered a new kid on the block, but this was a completely blind taste test. Coming first in five out of six categories, we now have this company’s products listed as the preferred gravies and bouillons across the managed estate.

When you are a chef, you can judge whether something’s good or not and these are fantastic products that enhance what you are doing. They are the best of their kind on the market and I would personally recommend them.
Head Chef, The Hand & Trumpet
We make our French Onion and Beef soup with Essential’s vegetable stock and use the fish stock in our most popular starter, mussels. The stocks are consistent and enable us to make our own creations with no requirement for a sauces chef. They are the closest to natural you can get, while other pre-prepared products on the market have bits floating in them, look greasy and don’t have the right consistency.

Consumers are now more careful about where they spend, but the point is they are still spending, and we can’t afford to be complacent. This kind of product is invaluable in delivering the highest quality of food and service within a relaxing pub environment.

We are very happy to recommend your range of stocks – they have saved us so much time, and give us a consistent base in the kitchen. Deputy

In my opinion Essential Cuisine stocks are the purest and most natural version of stock that I have used or sold; low in salt, a good flavour, well balanced, not in the least bit artificial.

I also make my own vegetable stock and add Essential Cuisine’s vegetable stock mix. All their products are excellent and I have tried many other brands but now I use nothing else in my dishes.

I have only been using the product for two weeks and I won’t be making any stock at home stock again. Their Chicken Stock is superb!!

I have tried to find a stockist for a Veal Stock for years and I’m delighted that I can now buy this online or through farm shops in the UK

Essential Cuisines Fish Stock is the real thing!! I have used it in both stews and sauces either for entertaining or just everyday use.
