Bovril powder

Bovril Powder is a powdered concentrate made from beef extracts, specially designed to enhance the flavor of broths, soups, stews, and sauces. Its intense, umami flavor provides a deep and comforting touch to culinary preparations, delivering a concentrated meat flavor without the need for liquid broth or fresh meat.

Origin: Bovril is a British brand created in the 19th century, and its formula has been adapted and marketed in different formats, including the dehydrated powder that is especially used as a flavor enhancer in both home and professional recipes. Although originally of European origin, its use has spread to various cuisines around the world due to its practicality and flavor.

Properties: Bovril powder is rich in natural meat extracts that provide protein and intense umami flavor. It is also a concentrated alternative to meat broth, facilitating the quick preparation of tasty dishes. It is not a low-sodium seasoning, so it is recommended to use it in moderation to avoid excess salt in the recipe.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: In several Spanish-speaking countries, Bovril powder may be known simply as beef broth powder, concentrated meat powder, or powdered meat extract. Although the Bovril brand is recognized, these terms are used to describe similar products, especially in regions where the brand is not present or a generic term is preferred.
