CIG Launched to Deliver Bases, Pure Beef Concentrate for Clean-Label Finished Products
Culinary Ingredient Group (CIG) provides pure beef concentrate and a wide variety of bases to food manufacturers demanding only the best ingredients for their finished products.
11 Aug 2009 More Than Gourmet, the industry’s leader in authentic gourmet stocks and sauces, has created a new unit called Culinary Ingredient Group (CIG) (www.culinaryingredient.com) to serve the food manufacturing sector. Building on the same commitment at More Than Gourmet for natural, clean-label products and ingredients, Culinary Ingredient Group (CIG) provides pure beef concentrate and a wide variety of bases to food manufacturers demanding only the best ingredients for their finished products. CIG champions “Excellence in Flavor” in its full line of concentrates and bases as well as in its custom blends and bases.
“CIG focuses all its attention on concentrates and bases that our customers not only trust but value as essential to the quality of their finished products,” said More Than Gourmet President Bill Finnegan. “Everything we prepare reflects our scrupulous care and uncompromising quality.”
CIG’s pure beef concentrate, produced in one of the few facilities in the world to offer USDA, FDA and other global certifications of standards and quality, uses the purest ingredients and state-of-the-art processing techniques to meet the highest culinary standards. Its newest innovation – pure beef concentrate - is aseptically packed and contains no salt, flavorings, HVPs, MSG, fillers or yeast extracts. Likewise, CIG’s other bases are produced under the same stringent standards: free of chemicals, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. CIG’s diverse line includes veal and beef demi glaces, venison, lamb, roasted chicken, chicken, roasted turkey, roasted duck and chicken, duck fat, fish, seafood, roasted vegetable, vegetable and mushroom bases.
CIG’s production facility and HACCP protocols are rigorous and ensure the highest levels of quality and food safety. In addition, More Than Gourmet is one of the few facilities to be certified by the European Union and British Retail Consortium, providing a global level of quality assurance that few facilities are able to achieve.
