Ocado PR Executive Naomi Bullivant said:
"Our senior buyer Andy was blown away by the versatility of this product....you could use it to liven up plain yoghurt or make mulled wine in seconds."
Commenting on one of the Spice Drops® products, two Michelin starred chef Tom Kerridge said:
"This has a fantastic saffron flavour."
Atul Kocchar, one of Britain's most critically acclaimed chefs and the first Indian chef to achieve a Michelin star was equally fulsome in his praise. About the entire Spice Drops® range he said:
"These products are an amazingly versatile way to bring food and drink to life. Truly authentic flavours."

"These drops present us with a wonderfully simple and flexible way to blend spices and create flavours."
Gouri Kubair, owner of Holy Lama Naturals, UK, said:
“It was fantastic to hear those comments from chefs I have long admired. I am also really excited by the wonderful feedback and imaginative recipes that Spice Drops® is starting to generate from our customers. People are starting to appreciate that trying new tastes with the Spice Drops® is easy and risk free.
The products are made in our family factory in Kerala, India, where we employ disadvantaged women, providing them with fair wages and optimum working conditions. It means a great deal to me that I can make a difference in this way."

Have you tried them, Marie? I see I can order them via Amazon.uk, so I might give the saffron and garam masala ones a try.
ReplyDeleteI have used them Marie. I was sent some several months ago. They are very good.
