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.

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.
