Description

Gravy concentrate is a culinary ingredient used to enhance the flavor and texture of sauces, stews, and meat dishes. It is a thick, concentrated mixture containing intensified extracts of meat juices, spices, and other seasonings, designed to add depth and a characteristic umami flavor to preparations.

Origin: Gravy has its roots in British and American cuisine, where it is traditionally made from the juices left over from cooking meats, especially poultry. Gravy concentrate is a more practical and concentrated industrial or homemade version, which allows for sauces to be prepared quickly without the need to make the juice from scratch.

Properties: It is a flavor-rich product, generally low in calories but high in sodium due to its seasonings and preservatives. It provides an intense flavor and a smooth texture to dishes. It is key for recipes that require a savory touch without the need for fresh ingredients or long preparations.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: In different regions, this ingredient may be known simply as concentrate for meat sauce, gravy sauce base, or gravy extract. Although the term "gravy" is increasingly used, especially in professional culinary contexts or recipes adapted from Anglo-Saxon cuisine.
