Sirocco bouillons for those pleasurable winter moments
Winter is upon us and is ready to herald the merry, festive season. Daytime is now short, but evenings are long – and the kitchen transforms into the welcoming heart of the home. What a great time for inviting friends, creating culinary specialties, and delighting in sublime dishes. For gourmets and anyone who wants to enchant guests with a fantastic meal, there is one popular favorite that has been synonymous with authentic flavor for more than 80 years: Sirocco bouillon.
Our bouillon tins also make perfect gifts, either as a small gesture of thanks when visiting friends or as just the right present for those who really savor exquisite dishes.
A taste of Swiss history
Since 1941, we have been producing bouillon stocks, honoring our secret family recipe with meticulous attention to detail and premium quality. Whether beef or vegetable bouillon: both varieties are free of yeast, gluten, and any MSG additive. Both are based on Swiss rapeseed oil and come in the highly popular 500 g tins that are characteristic of the brand.
Many people consider Sirocco to be “the best bouillon” around – something that makes us very proud. Thanks to the fine, rich texture of our stocks, they can be easily measured out in the desired quantity and used for a variety of dishes – from those savory, flavorful sauces to quick, pick-me-up soups in between meals.
Beef bouillon – rich and elegant
Our beef bouillon is much more than just a cooking base – it’s a definitive culinary statement. Achieving a fine balance between richness and elegance, it lends an unmistakable note to such endearing classic dishes as Zurich-style sliced veal and is the ideal foundation for homemade hot pot sauces during the festive season.
The recipient of numerous culinary awards, this stock is perfect for both everyday cooking and also very special occasions.
Vegetable bouillon – plant-based deliciousness with refined character
Our vegan vegetable bouillon offers a light, flexible option for even the most discerning gourmets. Warm and hearty soups, risottos, casserole dishes, or steamed vegetables derive an exquisite flavor from it – without compromising on delicious taste. Full-bodied and subtly balanced – distinctly Sirocco.
Our tip:For a power snack between meals, simply pour hot water over the stock, refine with fresh herbs – and presto! For more body, add finely sliced pancake ribbons or stir in a beaten egg.
Festive inspiration: winter vegetable gratin
What would you serve with fondue chinoise, a classic Swiss Christmas hot pot dish?
For a special treat, why not try something a little different, which is not only scrumptious as a main course, but is also the perfect side dish for a hot pot – winter vegetable gratin with potatoes, beetroot, and sweet potatoes.
The combination of creamy potatoes, earthy beetroot, and the lingering delicate sweetness of sweet potatoes, refined with our aromatic vegetable bouillon, makes this gratin a culinary highlight.
Thanks to its colorful appearance, it is a real eye-catcher on any festive table – not to mention giving a fresh twist to classic winter cuisine.
When the kitchen becomes that lively place for family and friends to gather during the holiday season, Sirocco bouillons are an ideal essence for hearty and warming dishes that will certainly delight the palate on these chilly winter days.
