Granular vegetable seasoning for professional kitchens
Ristoris granular vegetable seasoning is a versatile aromatic base in a 1 kg tub for restaurants, pizzerias and catering. It works as a ready vegetable broth dissolved in hot water and as a direct seasoning sprinkled over risottos, soups, vegetables and grain dishes at the end of cooking. Produced in Broni (Pavia), Lombardy, it uses low-temperature technology that preserves the aromatic component of the dehydrated vegetables.
What it is
A granular seasoning blend designed for food service, combining salt, dehydrated vegetables (onion, carrot and celery), yeast extract, flavourings and spices. The fine, free-flowing grain dissolves quickly and disperses evenly, so a single pinch delivers a full, balanced savoury note. It is gluten-free and lactose-free, with no hydrogenated fats.
The producer
Ristoris SRL is based in Broni, in the province of Pavia, Lombardy. The company specialises in ingredients for professional catering, with a broad range of broths, stocks and soups. Its low-temperature production process is designed to keep the aromatic profile of the vegetables intact, giving a clean, rounded flavour rather than a flat salty taste.
Sensory profile
The granules are pale beige with visible specks of dehydrated vegetables. Once dissolved, the seasoning gives a clear, savoury broth with a recognisable note of onion, carrot and celery and a long, balanced finish. Used dry, it seasons without weighing down the dish or altering the natural colours of the preparation.
Professional uses
- Quick vegetable broth: dissolve about 8-10 g per litre of hot water for soups, sauces and braises.
- Risotto base: add a teaspoon to the stock to deepen the savoury note of a saffron, mushroom or vegetable risotto.
- Finishing seasoning: sprinkle over grilled or roasted vegetables, legumes and grain bowls at the end of cooking.
- Mise en place: stir into sauces, gravies and stuffings to boost umami without adding meat.
- Bulk cooking: ideal for canteens, catering and central kitchens that need a consistent, repeatable savoury base.
Pairings
Pairs naturally with risotto rice such as Carnaroli, with semolina and durum-wheat pasta, with dried mushrooms and with extra-virgin olive oil for finishing. Combine with a granular meat or fish seasoning when a richer, multi-layered stock is needed.
