APPETISER: The Heart of the Dish!

This innovation results from a fruitful encounter between a three-starred Chef, Christian Le Squer, and Darégal, the world leader in culinary herbs.

Launched in the restaurant industry in 2014, this range has already become a key tool in chefs’ dishes.

The Crayon de Coulis line is composed of eight colourful and delicious recipes inspired by the richness and power of tastes found in nature.

Fine aesthetics and fine cuisine form a winning combination in these aromatic herb coulis for dressing holiday dishes.

We love it!

The Crayons de Coulis have been developed to recreate the pure, natural colours of their raw materials. A palette of eight colours is available to consumers:

• Mellow yellow
• Molten red
• Fresh green
• Bright yellow
• Intense orange
• Gourmet bordeaux
• Deep fuchsia

These hues combine harmoniously with the dishes they adorn, providing depth, contrast and freshness.
