A good beef stock is where half of Italian cooking starts, from risotto to bollito to Sunday ragù. This one is ready in the carton.

A one-litre liquid stock from Chef, made for professional kitchens that want consistent results without a stockpot on the go all day.

Rounded and savoury, it adds depth to sauces and braises without shouting over the other ingredients.

Use it to start a risotto alla milanese, loosen a ragù, or as the base for gravy and sauces for roast and boiled meats.
