Ash

Description

This ash is produced from burnt vegetable matter which has been steam sterilised to produce activated carbon.  It meets the purity criteria of food coloring E153 described in the European Directive 2008/12 / EC.

This is pure ash which if used as a surface application can either be mixed with salt or applied after you have salted your cheese.

Traditionally, the cheeses from France’s Loire Valley are known for having ash in their coatings.  Well known examples,  all goats cheeses, include Selles sur Cher, Valencay and St Maure.

We now have available ash in either 45g pottles, refillable 400g shaker bottles, or 1 kg bags.  The photo shows a pottle and 400g shaker bottles.   Take care as this is a very fine dust which is easily airborne.  Clean up is easy using water and dishwash liquid.

This product has no expiry date.
