Granular Meat Seasoning 2% Tin 1 kg (Case 6) — Ristoris

Granular Meat Seasoning: the professional flavour base by Ristoris

Ristoris Granular Meat Seasoning is a professional preparation with 2% beef extract that works both as a seasoning and as an instant broth base. Supplied in a 1 kg resealable steel tin (case of 6), it dissolves immediately in boiling water at a rate of 20-22 g per litre and yields roughly 45-50 litres of broth per tin. It is gluten-free, lactose-free and contains no hydrogenated fats, with celery and soy as the declared allergens.

What a granular seasoning is

A granular meat seasoning, often called "dado granulare" in Italy, is the professional evolution of the traditional stock cube. The granular format dissolves faster and more evenly than a compressed cube and lets the chef fine-tune the dose gram by gram, avoiding the over-salting typical of a whole cube. It is a workhorse of Italian professional kitchens, where consistency of flavour across hundreds of covers a day is non-negotiable.

Origin and the producer

This seasoning is produced by Ristoris SRL in Broni, in the province of Pavia, in the heart of Lombardy. Ristoris is an Italian company dedicated to bases, sauces and preparations for the HoReCa channel, supplying restaurants, pizzerias and catering operations. The Broni site combines industrial reliability with recipes designed for professional yield and repeatability.

Sensory profile

The aroma is savoury and rounded, built on beef extract and yeast extract and lifted by dehydrated vegetables (onion, carrot and celery) and a touch of saffron. The granular texture is dry and free-flowing, dissolving cleanly with no lumps and leaving a clear, golden broth. Flavour intensity is calibrated so that a small dose delivers a full, balanced umami without masking the other ingredients of a dish.

Technical specifications

Professional uses in the kitchen

Dissolve 20-22 g per litre of boiling water for a ready meat broth for risottos, soups and braises. Add it dry, a pinch at a time, to finish sauces, ragus, vegetable side dishes and second courses that need a savoury lift. Use it to build the base liquid for a classic risotto alla milanese, or to season the cooking water of meat-based fillings and stuffings. It also strengthens gravies and pan sauces deglazed after roasting.

Pairings and complementary products

It is the natural partner of superfino rice such as Carnaroli for risottos, of saffron sachets for the Milanese version, and of grated Parmigiano Reggiano for the final mantecatura. In a busy kitchen it sits alongside other Ristoris granular bases, such as the fish and shellfish fumet and the brown stock (fondo bruno), letting a chef cover meat, fish and reduction bases from a single, consistent range.

Who it is for

This 1 kg professional format is designed for restaurants, pizzerias, canteens, hotels, delicatessens and catering kitchens that need a reliable, repeatable flavour base on large volumes while controlling food cost. The resealable steel tin keeps the granules dry and fragrant throughout the service week.
