What it is

It is typically made from grated horseradish root, vinegar, and sometimes cream or mayonnaise for a smoother texture and milder taste.

The horseradish root itself provides a sharp, biting sensation that is characteristic of this condiment.

To use Holsum Horseradish Sauce, simply open the packet and squeeze the desired amount onto your food. It can be used directly as a topping for steak, roast beef, or prime rib.

How it differs from similar foods
Compared to prepared horseradish, this sauce often has a creamier consistency due to added ingredients like mayonnaise or cream. This makes it easier to spread and can temper the raw intensity of plain horseradish. It offers a ready-to-use convenience that differs from grating fresh horseradish root, which requires more preparation and can be quite potent.

Store any unused portion of the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the remaining sauce within a few days to maintain its freshness and flavor. Keep it chilled until ready to serve for optimal taste and texture.
