Premium-quality 100% durum wheat semolina, soft and golden, for all your Mediterranean-inspired recipes
Produced in France in Peynier (Bouches-du-Rhône), this conventional couscous is made exclusively from 100% premium-quality durum wheat semolina, with no additives or preservatives. Available in a fine grain size (0.63 to 1 mm) or medium grain size (1 to 2 mm), it stands out for its beautiful amber-yellow colour and perfectly uniform grains. Once moistened, it offers an airy texture, a soft mouthfeel and a distinct flavour of durum wheat, guaranteeing an impeccable visual and gustatory result on your menus.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Culinary applications and presentation:
> Classic accompaniment: The essential base for traditional couscous (royal, lamb, poultry, fish or vegetarian), tagines and slow-cooked dishes in sauce.
> Starters and buffets: Ideal for making Middle Eastern tabbouleh, mixed cold salads, vegetable fillings (courgette, peppers) or gratins.
► Preparation tips (water-to-semolina ratio: 1:1):
> Traditional method (couscous pot): Moisten the semolina with an equal amount of salted water, mix and leave to stand for a few minutes. Fluff up the grains, place in the couscous pot and cook for 10 minutes from when steam begins to rise.
> Quick method (microwave): Moisten with an equal volume of salted water, grease the bowl lightly and mix. Cover with cling film and heat for 3 minutes in the microwave. Add a knob of butter and fluff up with a fork.
► Benefits for cooking and handling: Quick and even absorption of water, preventing lumps. Excellent texture when served hot or prepared cold for buffets and catering, selected by Le Delas.
► Size and packaging: 1 kg pack (fine or medium couscous).
► Storage and shelf life: Store in a dry place, away from light and moisture (best before 24 months from date of manufacture).
