GINGER FLAVOR (S/Alcohol) 1/8l GAZIGNAIRE

This natural ginger flavouring comes from Jean Gazignaire, based in Pégomas near Grasse, a house that has produced plant extracts and flavourings since 1865. The 125 ml brown glass bottle holds flavouring preparations in sunflower oil, with no alcohol, which is what the G. Detou label means by « S/Alcool ». This fatty base blends easily into preparations rich in butter, cream or chocolate.

In pastry, add it drop by drop to a dark chocolate ganache, a buttercream, a shortbread dough or a gingerbread batter, and taste before adding more: the bottle is concentrated and the heat of the ginger builds quickly. It also flavours a crème brûlée, a vanilla ice cream or a pear compote. In the kitchen, one drop lifts a chicken marinade, a citrus vinaigrette or an Asian-style vegetable broth. It is a handy option when there is no fresh root to hand, or when you want the taste of ginger without its fibres in a smooth cream.

The label states that the flavouring is for food use in limited quantities and must not be drunk neat. Keep the bottle closed, away from light and heat. You will also find it on the shelves of our shop, 58 rue Tiquetonne, Paris.
