Slow Cooking: Unlocking Intense Flavours
One of the core techniques behind Plateit's artisan condiments is slow cooking. This time-honoured method uses gentle heat over an extended period to extract the most delicate and complementary flavours from our handpicked, locally sourced ingredients. By allowing the ingredients to simmer slowly, we ensure that each flavour has the opportunity to shine and meld harmoniously with the others.
Slow cooking not only enhances taste but also retains vital nutrients present in our premium-selected ingredients. For our sauces and some of our dressings, this technique allows us to create a luxurious texture while preserving the integrity of the ingredients. The result is an unforgettable, flavour-packed experience that honours our commitment to artisan quality and tradition.
Hand-Blending: The Personal Touch
A crucial aspect of creating artisan condiments is the human touch that goes into blending the flavours and textures. At Plateit, our expert artisans combine ingredients by hand, ensuring the perfect balance in every batch we create. This meticulous level of care allows us to maintain consistency in our condiments while also preserving the unique characteristics of individual ingredients.
Hand-blending is an essential step for our spice rubs and some of our dressings. Our skilled artisans thoroughly combine the fragrant spices, herbs, and dry ingredients, achieving homogeneity and ensuring a uniform flavour profile. This personal touch is vital in differentiating Plateit's condiments from mass-produced alternatives that rely on automated processes, sacrificing the essential balance of authentic flavours.
Cold-Pressing: Preserving the Essence of Oils
Cold-pressing is a traditional technique used to extract high-quality artisan oils for our condiments, ensuring that each oil captures the unique essence of its source. The method involves mechanically pressing seeds, nuts, or fruit without applying heat, allowing the oil to retain its natural aroma, flavour, and nutritional properties.
This technique is a crucial element in crafting our cold-pressed dressings and our collection of handcrafted oils. By prioritising the natural characteristics of the oil's source, Plateit pays homage to time-tested artisan methods that value quality, authenticity, and sustainability. The result is oil-based condiments that pack a punch of flavour, elevating your culinary creations and capturing the pure essence of locally sourced ingredients.
Sustainability: The Future of Artisan Techniques
At the heart of Plateit's commitment to artisan techniques is a focus on sustainability and respect for the environment surrounding us. We believe that preserving traditional methods while prioritising sustainability is essential for the future of the artisan condiment industry.
Our emphasis on using locally sourced, handpicked ingredients supports community producers and reduces the environmental impact often associated with transporting mass-produced items. We carefully select growers and suppliers who share our dedication to using eco-friendly processes and sustainable farming practices.
By choosing to handcraft our condiments in small batches, we ensure minimal waste and the highest quality possible.
