What is a Demi-Glace, Anyway?
Demi-glace is a classic staple in traditional French cuisine, with origins dating all the way back to the 18th century. Deeply intertwined with the rise of iconic French haute cuisine ( a refined cooking style known for its precision and artistry), this concentrated brown sauce is the cornerstone of traditional French cooking. In Haute cuisine, demi-glace is most frequently used as a flavor-rich base or elegant finishing glaze.
Created using roasted bones, mirepoix (onion, celery, carrot), herbs, tomato paste, and red wine, demi-glaces are half-reduced to produce a thick, velvety texture saturated with flavor.
Curious about how our line of demi-glaces can bring your business to the next level? Here are some key things to know:
How is demi-glace different from gravy?
Demi-glaces are potent, savory sauces used to enhance stews, soups, braising liquids, meats, and other entrees. They are created by slowly reducing stock (often veal, beef, or chicken) with wine and aromatics until it becomes thick and concentrated. While demi-glaces do resemble gravy, they are different in that they are more refined, intensely flavored, and made through a longer, more traditional French cooking process.
How to use demi-glace in cooking?
Cooking with demi-glace opens the door to bold, refined flavor inspired by French cuisine. Though most popularly used as a flavor-enhacing base in other sauces or soups, demi-glaces can also be used for glazing meats and vegetables.
How long does demi-glace last?
In commercial kitchens, properly stored demi-glace can last up to two weeks in the refrigerator when kept in airtight containers. For extended shelf life, freezing demi-glace in portioned containers or vacuum-sealed bags can preserve quality for several months.
How long does it take to make a demi-glace?
To make a proper demi-glace, you must take the time to thoroughly roast bones, vegetables, herbs, and red wine in carefully timed phases. The longer the mixture simmers, the more intense the flavor, meaning that a high-quality demi-glace can take days to create.
What are the benefits of pre-made demi-glaces?
Pre-made demi-glaces offer loads of benefits, including reduced labor costs, flavor consistency, easy storage, and maximum versatility.
