Sauces
The very best herbs and spices form the basis of Verstegen sauces
Delicious…creamy… full…authentic...
Verstegen sauces are well known for their high quality. Rich sauces, full of fresh ingredients, which can also easily be mixed with other ingredients or meal components. Varying from culinary sauces to garnish sauces, all Verstegen sauces offer an extra specific taste emphasis to optimise your end products.

Herb & spice oils

Very well suited for industrial use...
If you need a new taste for meat, fish, vegetable or bakery products, then let our herb and spice oils inspire you. Your product will obtain a very glossy, highly visual appearance and after preparation your meat and fish will also be extra tender. Verstegen herb and spice oils actually form a thin barrier around your meat or fish and unnecessary moisture loss will be eliminated. At the frying or grilling stage the customer does not have to add any extra oil or butter.

Fresh Pastes

Would you like a finished product with a hand produced appearance and an optimum flavour transfer? These pasteurised herbs and spices in the form of a paste are suitable for the industrial production of minced meat products. Not only do Verstegen herb and spice pastes have a positive effect on the colour of your finished product, but due to their very low bacterial count, your end product will also benefit from an improved shelf life.

A Marinade has to have a tenderising effect on the meat to which it is added and must take its flavour into the structure of the meat. The RAPS' range of Marinades is a very good example. Oil-based, with a unique emulsion system, they will improve the eating quality of any meat within a few hours whilst ensuring the flavour penetrates deep into the structure of the product. The minimum time to allow for marinating is 2 hours but the longer you leave the Marinade on the product the better it will be. However, RAPS' unique emulsion system allows these products to be extended during the cooking stage to give you a sauce to complement the meal, so if time is tight use the Marinade as a base for your own creation then add wine, cream, milk, or any liquid to extend the product. The best of both worlds!!

On the other hand, sauces have no tenderising effect on the meat but obviously still improve the quality of the finished product. Their job is to provide flavour and succulence with the meat. They do not need to be added to the meat before cooking and are often water - or cream-based. Sauces are more popular in the catering industry where speed and flexibility are the key factors.
