Use the navigation below to jump to the particular
section of interest, thank you.
This section is packed full of products which
have been sourced from around the World. You may
already be aware of many of them. However, there
are some products that will be new to you and
may provide an interesting twist to your menus.
In addition we provide variable pack sizes which
we believe are better suited to the requirements
of the professional kitchen in terms of stock
holding and freshness. We believe that our quality
is as good as it gets, try the Kashmir Saffron
and Vanilla Beans for example.
Vanilla Beans
Size isn’t everything but it helps! Our
Vanilla Beans are between 16cm to 18cm in length.
Vanilla Beans should be fresh, plump and moist,
just like the ones in the picture.
Our Vanilla Beans are ordered on a six-week cycle
to ensure freshness. These beans provide a fantastic
flavour and a high yield of seed and oil, unlike
smaller, dryer and often cheaper Vanilla Beans.
Remember, cheap does not always mean good value.
Vanilla Beans are the long, greenish-yellow seedpods
of the tropical orchid plant, Vanilla Plan Folia.
Before the plant flowers, the pods are picked
unripe and cured until they become a dark reddish
brown in colour. This process takes up to six
months

Kashmir Gold Saffron
Kashmir is possibly the finest quality Saffron
in the world. It is known for its beautiful rich
gold colour, full flavour and exotic aroma. Infuse
in water or a little alcohol to release the very
special romantic flavour and deep gold colour.
Saffron threads come from the stigma of a flowering
plant which is part of the crocus family. Saffron
is the world’s most expensive spice. It
takes more than 225,000 hand-picked threads to
produce one pound of saffron.

Spices
Our source of spices has been selected to ensure
maximum freshness, flavour, fragrance and colour.
In order to maintain the continuity of freshness
we are prepared to supply our spices in units
as small as 100grammes. How often do you throw
away spices because you have to order in large
quantities? Once air and sunlight gets to spices
their quality quickly deteriorates. The containers
which we supply to our customers shield the products
from sunlight and can be resealed and wiped clean.
We are prepared to discount our prices for those
customers who wish to buy spices in by the half
kilo.

Tonka Beans
Tonka beans have a fantastic almond flavour. The
beans grow on trees in Venezuela and are gathered
when they have fallen.
Tonka Beans can be used in the same way and as
an interesting alternative to Vanilla Beans. They
can also be grated and passed to infuse their
flavour and are ideal for flavouring desserts
such as a crème anglaise.
The strength of Tonka Beans in relation to their
size makes them a very good value for money product.
MSK-0047 100gr Tonka Beans £9.99

which grows wild on the sunny coastal fields of

and dried it is sealed in 28oz tins.

Australian Processed Ginger
Our Ginger is from Australia and widely recognised
as the best quality Ginger available.
‘Down Under’ Ginger has a very full,
warm and smooth flavour. It is not as harsh or
as fiery as other alternative sources which can
sometimes overly dominate a dish.
The Ginger is planted in September and harvested
in the following February. The product is then
boiled and immersed in sugar syrup which gives
the Ginger its smooth texture and enhances its
flavour.
The three formats listed below provide massive
flexibility and mean that Ginger can be incorporated
across the menu form sauces to ice creams to bread.
