What it is
This is a liquid base made from simmering chicken bones and vegetables. It is a foundational ingredient for many savory dishes. The organic certification means the ingredients used to make it were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is a convenient way to add depth of flavor to your cooking.
How people cook with it
This stock is a versatile pantry staple. It is excellent for building complex flavors in a wide range of recipes.
- Soups and stews
- Sauces and gravies
- Risotto and grains
- Braising liquids
You can use this chicken stock as a direct substitute for water in many recipes to enhance the overall taste. It is ideal for creating rich broths for soups or as the liquid component in dishes like risotto, where it absorbs into the rice. It can also be used to deglaze pans after searing meat, capturing flavorful browned bits. For gravies and sauces, it provides a savory foundation that can be reduced to concentrate its flavor. It is also useful for moistening dishes during slow cooking or braising.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to chicken broth, stock is typically made with more bones and simmered for a longer period, resulting in a richer, more gelatinous texture and deeper flavor. This organic version ensures the ingredients are sourced responsibly.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike rely on this stock for consistent flavor and quality in their culinary creations.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused stock to an airtight container and refrigerate. It should be used within a few days. For longer storage, you can freeze the remaining stock in ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers.
