{"product_id":"mitchs-preserves-worcestershire-sauce-old-fashioned-black-sauce","title":"MITCH'S PRESERVES - Worcestershire Sauce | Old Fashioned Black Sauce","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Black Sauce That Actually Packs a Punch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForget the thin, one-note bottle in the supermarket aisle. Mitch's Preserves make their Worcestershire Sauce the old-fashioned way in Warrnambool, and it shows — this is a rich, full-bodied black sauce built for people who actually cook with the stuff, not just splash it on as an afterthought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp front it's straight vinegar tang and dark treacle sweetness. Through the middle, apple and orange bring a genuine fruity roundness you don't get from the mass-market bottles. On the finish, garlic and a quiet hit of spice land last and linger — it's the kind of depth that makes a Bolognese, a casserole or a meat pie filling taste like it's been on the stove three hours longer than it actually has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect on: casseroles and slow braises, meat pie filling, a proper steak sauce, stirred through gravy, splashed into a stir-fry — or, per one very satisfied customer, the difference-maker in a Bloody Mary. It's the shortcut ingredient serious home cooks keep on hand for marinades and Sunday roasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the bottle it's deep, near-black and properly rich bodied — it pours with real weight rather than the watery run of a supermarket brand. No chilli heat to speak of; this one's about depth and tang, not fire. Vegan friendly, gluten free and made with no preservatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurated for The Rub Hub from a Warrnambool maker that's picked up back-to-back medals at the Melbourne Royal and Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards.
