Béchamel Sauce

Classic base sauce

Béchamel sauce is a creamy roux-based sauce and is considered a mother sauce in French cuisine, created by the French chef Auguste Escoffier. It’s a white base sauce made by cooking butter, flour, and milk: the butter and flour are melted together in a pot over low heat so it doesn’t brown, and the milk is whisked in constantly so it doesn’t form lumps. For the inexperienced, getting a satisfying result can be a challenge.

That’s why we’ve created a convenience version of béchamel sauce that’s easy to use and works every time. Here you get a delicious béchamel sauce in a ready-made version that you can easily use in all your favourite dishes.
