Sauce bases

THE FOUNDATION OF A GREAT SAUCE

Every great sauce starts with a great base. Our Culinary Sauce Base is a blend of real vegetable concentrates, built around the ingredient we know best: onion. Onion carries and connects every other flavor in the blend, giving your sauce depth, natural sweetness and a rounded savory finish that tastes like it has been reduced for hours. Ready to use in seconds, consistent in every batch.

Real vegetables, real flavor

Many liquid concentrates on the market consist mostly of water, salt and yeast extract, with only a few percent of actual vegetable. Our Culinary Sauce Base is different. It is built on concentrated vegetable juice, with onion as the leading ingredient, supported by other vegetable concentrates and finished with natural spice extracts. The result is a sauce that tastes of real ingredients, not of additives.

Built for the demands of sauce making

Sauces are tested hard: they are reduced, heated, held warm, chilled and reheated. The Culinary Sauce Base delivers concentrated savory depth that holds up through every step, so your sauce tastes as good at the end of service, or at the end of its shelf life, as it did on day one.

How to use it

Use the Culinary Sauce Base as the foundation of a new sauce, adding body and depth from the very first step. Or add it to an existing recipe to lift flavor, round off sharp edges and give more savory impact. It works equally well in white sauces, brown sauces and vegetable based sauces.

Why our Culinary Sauce Base

Onion at the heart. Onion gives body, sweetness and savory depth, and ties all other flavors together into one balanced whole.

Stable flavor. Holds its taste during reduction, heating, holding and reheating.

Clean label. A short, recognizable ingredient list that fits clean label and plant based product concepts.

Fully water soluble. Dissolves instantly in hot and cold liquids. No lumps, no sediment, no oily layer. Easy to dose by hand or by pump.

Room to reduce salt. Because the flavor comes from the vegetables, you can build a full tasting sauce with less added salt.

Saves time. Rich, reduced flavor without hours of stock preparation, peeling, chopping or reducing.

Consistent every batch. Because we control the onion from seed to concentrate, flavor and performance are the same all year round.
