Major improves lamb stock paste

Written by: Edward Waddell
Boasting more flavour, an improved appearance, cleaner label, shorter ingredients and an increased meat content, Major says its new lamb stock paste is a ‘must stock’ for chefs and caterers looking to enhance their menus.

Designed for chefs who don’t have the time needed to make their stocks from scratch, lamb stock paste does not compromise on flavour, while its versatile consistency means that it can be added at any stage of the cooking process.

Made using lamb and vegetable concentrate the new and improved recipe has been developed as part of Major International’s commitment to review and improve its product portfolio to ensure that it only ever brings the very best products to market. What’s new:

  • Increased lamb content from 42% to 65-70%
  • Overall meat content increased by 54%
  • Cleaner label having replaced modified starch with cornflour
  • Shorter ingredient list

Paul Saunders, marketing manager at Major, said: “Integral to the success of our business is our ongoing dedication to benchmark all our products to the highest standard and part of this involves us regularly reviewing our portfolio to identify where improvements can be made.

“Our Product Improvement and Development Plan allows us to do just that. With access to speciality Givaudan technology, we have the ability to tweak our recipes to ensure our products are best in class. Our new and improved lamb stock paste delivers a powerful flavour while using minimal ingredients and having a cleaner label declaration.

“Boasting a rich, intense flavour adding depth to an array of dishes our best ever lamb stock paste is testament to our teams’ dedication to constantly review and improve our product portfolio and this is just the first of many flavour and ingredient improvements we will make across our portfolio.”

Available in 1kg resealable tubs for greater shelf life and making up to 50L of stock once diluted, Major’s lamb stock paste can be used for gravies and sauces as well as a number of popular menu items including casseroles, pies soups and of course lamb dishes.

Mayor says with hints of nutmeg, rosemary and thyme the paste boasts the flavour profile of a traditional lamb dinner not only helping to elevate your dishes but bring a ‘sense of comfort and nostalgia’ to consumers through their food.
