Inspired by chefs

Throughout the culinary world, grande cuisine has always been distinguished by the exquisite finishing touches: the care and attention the chef took to create a flavoursome and nutritious stock, a deep and infusive jus, or a bouncy and invigorating pesto.

It's this same aspiration to achieve the remarkable that has inspired Essential Cuisine to create an authentic range of premium, restaurant quality stocks, pestos and jus. A range that allows appreciators of good food to experience the tastes and textures of restaurant quality dishes, right in their own home.

The Essential Cuisine range has already won the hearts and minds of a profession that has always upheld the sanctity of the uniquely crafted stock, pesto and jus. Essential Cuisine pestos were awarded Two Stars in the International Taste Quality Awards in Belgium in 2007, as judged by 12 Michelin chefs. Essential Cuisine Beef Stock won the Superior Taste Award in 2008.
