Discover Umami-Rich Bases from Salsus

10th September 2025

In the world of fine dining, flavour is everything. And when it comes to building rich, umami-packed bases, Salsus mushroom stocks are a chef’s secret weapon. Now available through Classic Fine Foods UK, this exceptional range brings Nordic precision and culinary tradition straight to your kitchen.

When it comes to crafting dishes that sing with depth and umami, few ingredients rival the richness of mushrooms. And when those mushrooms are transformed into expertly crafted stocks by Salsus, the result is nothing short of culinary alchemy.

What Makes Salsus Stand Out?

Salsus is renowned for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and tradition. Based in Norway, the company blends fresh, natural ingredients with high-tech production methods, all while staying true to classic stock-making techniques. Their products are additive-free, gluten-free, lactose-free, and GMO-free, making them a clean and reliable choice for professional kitchens.

Crafted with Care: The Salsus Method

Each stock in the Salsus mushroom range is made from just three ingredients: water, mushrooms, and sea salt. But simplicity doesn’t mean

compromise. Salsus selects premium dehydrated porcini, morel, and chanterelle mushrooms, then applies a meticulous two-step extraction process:

Cold infusion for 12 hours to gently draw out delicate aromas and subtle earthy notes
Followed by hot simmering for several hours to unlock the full depth and complexity of each mushroom variety

This technique ensures that every drop of stock is saturated with authentic flavour - no additives, no shortcuts.

A Range That Works Harder for You

Whether you're running a high-volume kitchen or crafting small-batch artisanal dishes, Salsus mushroom stocks offer more than just taste:

Time-saving: Skip the prep and long simmering - just open and pour
Space-efficient: Shelf-stable 1L cartons reduce the need for bulky storage
Cost-effective: Consistent quality means less waste and better portion control

Their range of stocks includes a trio of mushrooms: Morel, Porcini and Chanterelle.

Morel Mushroom Stock – earthy and luxurious, perfect for sauces, risottos, and game dishes.
Porcini Mushroom Stock – deep aromatic with a bold umami punch, ideal for pasta, soups, and stews.
Chanterelle Mushroom Stock – delicate and nutty, a beautiful match for poultry, fish, or creamy sauces.

Each variety is a celebration of its star ingredient, offering chefs a versatile base for both classic and contemporary creations.
