About Demi glaze

Demi-glace, a classic French sauce, is a richly concentrated brown sauce often made from a combination of veal or beef stock and espagnole sauce, reduced to a thick, glossy consistency. Traditionally used in French cuisine, it enhances the flavor of meats, stews, and sauces, and is highly prized for its depth and complexity. While demi-glace itself is not nutritionally dense, it contains trace minerals such as iron and magnesium derived from the bones of the stock. Being primarily a flavorful condiment, it contributes minimal calories but is high in sodium due to the use of salt in preparation.

Health Benefits

• Rich in trace amounts of iron, which supports oxygen transportation in the body.
• Contains collagen from bones, contributing to joint health and skin elasticity.
• Includes magnesium from slow-cooked stocks, supporting muscle function and nerve health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains dairy (if butter is used), gluten (if flour is used in espagnole sauce)

Suitable for: Omnivorous diet

Not suitable for: Vegan diet, vegetarian diet, gluten-free diet (if flour is added), low-sodium diet

Selection and Storage

Store demi-glace in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze portions for extended use. Reheat gently to avoid altering texture.

Can I eat demi-glace on a keto diet?

Are there any health concerns related to eating demi-glace?

What is a recommended serving size for demi-glace?

How does demi-glace compare to stock or broth?

Demi-glace is richer and more concentrated than stock or broth, as it is created by reducing stock with additional ingredients, such as wine and aromatics. It has a thicker consistency and deeper flavor, whereas stock or broth is thinner and suited for general cooking or soups.
