In short, NO.
We don’t pre-cook any of the ingredients, we don’t add preservatives or any other nasties that you might find in tinned or pre-packaged foods which enables you to keep them for years and years.
All our herbs, spices and grains are dried – this means that they’ve had the moisture taken out of them. So, they keep their nutritional value and as soon as they’re put in water and they’ve rehydrated, they’re as good as they were before.
Our flavourings are made specifically for our products and from natural ingredients by a company in the UK
Our stock powders are made using natural ingredients and then dried to form a powder by 2 companies in the UK
Our pasta, and the Arborio rice is shipped over from Italy.
We use the best ingredients we can, and ensure that we purchase them from reputable companies who can trace each one back to the grower or producer.
