OilEssencesTM
Gourmet Flavouring & Garnishing Oil - NEW!
C@H is extraordinarily proud to be the first company to create an everyday gourmet formulation of a professional kitchen dropper-top flavouring and garnishing oil.
Now, instead of creating small-batch infused herb and citrus oils from scratch like pro chefs do, save time and money with Top Chef Canada Winner Dale MacKay's favourite dropper-top blends for the everyday gourmet.
Try all six, or choose from Basil, Rosemary, Lemon, Jalapeno, Garlic, and White Truffle Essence in XV (extra virgin) Olive Oil. In the true spirit of the professional kitchen, OilEssencesTM were created in small batches. Formulated with pure, gentle flavours (XV olive oil and natural oil essences) and no added colour, intended to add depth and complexity to quality ingredients, rather than overpower and dominate. The dropper-top glass pipette ensures precision application, mimicking the pro-kitchen plastic pipette. Retail $14.99 per 120ml glass dropper-top bottle. Shop online and pay just $11.99
We LOVE this product, and the level of innovation and creativity it offers the everyday gourmet.
Chef Dale MacKay, Canada's first Top Chef Canada Winner, and the youngest Grand Chef Relais & Chateau in the world (at 27), knows a thing or two about cooking, and about saving time.
When he cooks in his own Ayden Kitchen & Bar restaurant in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, it's all business - modern farm to table cuisine, executed with award-winning precision and presentation. But, when he cooks at home, for himself and for his son, he keeps it real and simple.
"I can fancy up a simple soup or scrambled eggs for my son, whip up a quick vinaigrette, add an extra kick to homemade pizza, or flavour roast potatoes in no time at all with OilEssencesTM." Just a drop or two makes everyday gourmet.
