Gourmet Gold: Why Nicolas Vahé Condiments Are Your Pantry’s Next Obsession

In Mar 14, 2020, I previously wrote about the Monah Vinegar by Nicolas Vahé that I discovered at H&M Home—check out the link to that article below. The key to leveling up your cooking without extra work is choosing pantry staples like Nicolas Vahé’s distinctive condiments, which deliver gourmet flavor instantly.

Nicolas Vahé specializes in crafting standout condiments that deliver chef-quality flavor with ease. Their range features gourmet shortcuts—think drizzles, sauces, and spices—that bring restaurant-level taste straight to your table. Here are some must-have products worth adding to your pantry now.


The Tropical Star: Mango Ginger Marinade & Sauce

Nicolas Vahé’s Mango Ginger flavor is a delightful mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy that adds an exotic twist to your dishes. Whether you’re using their Mango & Coconut Marinade or the Spicy Mango Gourmet Sauce, this product is highly adaptable.

Here’s how to make the most of the Mango Ginger Wonder:

  • Glazing Meat: This chutney or sauce serves as a fantastic glaze for roasted beef, lamb, chicken, or shrimp.
  • Simple Dip: Pair the Spicy Mango Gourmet Sauce with tortilla chips for a creamy, slightly spicy snack.
  • Seafood Finish: Its vibrant flavor complements white fish or grilled salmon beautifully.
  • Sandwich Booster: Blend it with mayonnaise for a zesty spread that livens up ham, cheese, or turkey sandwiches.
  • Simmer Sauce: It can easily become a quick simmer sauce base for shrimp or chicken served over rice.

The Essential Trio: Truffle, Pepper, and Marinades

Nicolas Vahé’s approach stands out by taking everyday ingredients and elevating them with amazing flavours.

  1. The Indulgent Oil: Virgin Olive Oil with White Truffle This truffle-infused olive oil is a true gourmet gem that elevates any dish in an instant.Best Uses: A splash over salads, pasta, risottos, baked potatoes, or as a finishing touch on a perfectly grilled steak, fish, or chicken can make all the difference.While variations like “Coach Truffle with Mint” exist, the White Truffle Olive Oil remains a luxurious essential in any kitchen.
  2. The Must-Have Blend: Mixed Blend Pepper Ditch the boring black pepper! The Mixed Blend packs five types of peppercorns—white, red, black, green, and pink—for a rich, aromatic kick that complements nearly any meal.Ingredients: A mix of black, white, green, Jamaican, and pink peppercorns.
  3. The Versatile Flavor Base: Coconut & Mango Marinade This marinade isn’t just for bao buns or open-faced sandwiches; it’s a lifesaver for quick dinners on hectic nights.Uses: Ideal for marinating seafood like prawns before cooking! Nicolas Vahé has a fantastic selection of popular sauces and marinades, including Barbecue Sauce and Soya & Sesame, as well as the zesty Spicy Mango Gourmet Sauce.Just a heads up: while they don’t specifically list a “white wine” item in their main condiments, you’ll often find vinegars like Cucumber Vinegar and various syrups that complement culinary wines and beverages.
