Professional Demi Glace Tub, Rich Demi Glace Sauce Mix, Granules, 1.05kg (Makes 7L)

This is my newly discovered secret ingredient for anything 'meaty' - Cottage pie, beef stew, Moussaka. It amps everything up and it goes a LONG way. I usually add 3 teaspoons to my cottage pie for 6 people at the end of the cooking of the mince stage and the difference is marked. You can taste the mince, add this then a minute later taste again and you go 'wow', that's definitely better - doesn't taste different, just more taste. It may seem an expensive punt but my word this will last for ages upon ages - and I cook a fair bit at home. Only negative, to be balanced is that I didn't find it made a particularly nice gravy on its own with water. If I already had gravy that wasn't quite hitting the spot I would deffo add this though.

I use this rich brown French base in my famous Madeira pasta sauce. The original demi glace sauce is hard to get here in the UK and a bit tricky and cumbersome to make by combining Espagnole sauce, brown veal sauce and sherry wine. Therefore I’m glad I was able to get this huge container that will last for a good few years. It is for professional use, so I trust its fairly good. And as far as I can tell it comes very close the traditional demi glace. I also use it as a base for my red wine- and mushroom sauces that I serve with my equally famous and much appreciated steaks (at least that is what my daughter says). You can also add it to gravy or soups. In my experience if you just add a bit of demi-glace to most sauces, it will add quite some depth and richness.

Nicely surprised by this. They are like tiny gravy granules that really help to enrich meaty sauces. Would have given 5 stars but the box is so large I might not get through it.

I'd never heard of Demi Glace until it appeared Amazon's deal of the day, and after reading reviews decided to give it a try. I've only used it twice. Once to enhance a gravy and the other in a home made star and onion pie. It really does transform the taste and appearance of the sauce, giving the food an appetising sheen. The taste is difficult to define, other than the meatiness of the gravy is intensified. The 1kg tub is good value - you only need 150g of granules to make 1 litre of sauce, and I use this as the base for my gravy. All of my family complimented the awesome gravy I made - so testament indeed. Definitely something I would recommend.

This makes the most delicious gravy. I have it with Roast Beef and all my family love it. I cannot recommend it highly enough. There is more than a years ‘use by’ date on the box and the carton comes with a strong sealing plastic lid to keep the granules fresh. To be honest, I only realised when using my last carton at the weekend (5/2025) that the use by date was 10/2023 but it still tasted delicious, but thought it best I replace it!!!!!!

I used to go to so much efforts to make stock... then a professional chef told me his secret - this! It produces brilliant sauces, with whatever consistency you want. No more boiling away to reduce, just add more mix. Great flavour.

I liked how easy it was to use and the way it dissolved. Only down part was the flavour. It wasn't as the sane as the original demi glacé sauce.

Excellent demi-glace mix that delivers a rich, deep flavour with very little effort. Easy to prepare, consistent every time, and ideal for sauces, casseroles and adding extra depth to meat dishes. The large pack offers great value and goes a long way. A must-have for both home cooks and professional kitchens.
