Gourmet Classic, the alcoholic cooking ingredients specialist, has added a new selection of Fortified Wines to its range.

Gourmet Classic Marsala – A must for many Italian dishes. Add a splosh to risotto, creamy pasta dishes or use in contemporay veal recipes. Marsala is often mixed with mascarpone for classic puddings such as tiramisu. £1.65 for 250ml.

Gourmet Classic Cooking Port – This ever-popular fortified wine is perfect for making intense reductions to complement beef and game dishes. Its deep flavour is also a great partner for blue cheese and to balance the natural acidity of seasonal berries. £1.65 for 250ml.

Gourmet Classic Vermouth – Briliant for fish recipes, vermouth can be used in any recipe that calls for white wine. It is made from a powerful white wine flavoured with herbs making it a great asset in the kitchen. Try it with salmon, sea bass and trout or add to marinades for chicken. Great for boozy summer puddings too. £1.35 for 250ml.

Gourmet Classic Madeira –Matured on the Portugese island of Madiera, this fortified wine is used by chefs to create deliciously rich sauces for chicken and game recipes. It can be used in place of sherry in a wide variety of dishes and is a wonderful partner for rabbit, quail and mushrooms. £1.65 for 250ml.

About Gourmet Classic
In 1998 Gourmet Classic introduced cooking wine as a unique category to foodservice and retail sectors by adapting the alcohol content and lightly seasoning these alcoholic products. By doing so, the excise duty and VAT were removed to enable professional and domestic cooks alike to buy these ingredients more cost effectively.
