Majors Stock Bases are made from the finest ingredients, one of the lowest-salt range of concentrated paste stocks in the foodservice market today. With outstanding results, chefs now season their dishes, adding salt just as they would to recipes using "own-made" stock.

Directions for Use

Simple to DILUTE. Dissolve 20-25g (1 level to 1 heaped dessertspoon) depending on taste, into 1 litre of boiling water and whisk. Each 1kg pot yields up to 50 litres. Or, alternatively, MIX-IN directly to sauces, dressings and fresh dips. The soft semi-liquid paste is so versatile and easy to use, it can be BRUSHED-ON directly to enhance the flavour of your dish.

Recommended Storage

Before opening, store in a cool dry place. Once opened use within 3 months or by the best before date and keep pot tightly closed and chilled (<5°C) between use.

Major Stock Bases are ideal for a kitchen like ours... says Steven Hodge, Head Chef at the University of Exeter, who has been a chef for 21 years.

We produce food in large quantities and need to use a product that we can rely on to deliver great tasting results.
