CAMDEN, N.J., Nov. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Swanson®, America's No. 1 broth,
is introducing its first-ever broth sommelier to educate consumers
on the care and precision that goes into making broth and to help
home chefs identify the ideal broth for them.
The newly named Swanson Sommelier, Chef Graham Zanow, works as the soup and broth
executive research chef for Campbell Soup Company, parent company
of Swanson. As the Swanson Sommelier, Chef Zanow aims
to redefine how consumers think about broth, shedding light on
flavor intricacies and the impact it makes on every dish.
"Akin to fine wine or cheese, not all broths are the same. Broth
is made through an intricate, deliberate cooking process that
requires close attention to the ingredient selection to make a
broth with a delicious flavor curve – the beginning, middle and end
flavor notes, a rich aroma and a bold mouthfeel," said Chef Zanow.
"Whether you're a professional or home chef, it's crucial for all
of these elements to be considered when selecting a broth to ensure
the end dish is as delicious as possible."
Chef Zanow brings a distinguished culinary background to this
role, with degrees from the Culinary Institute
of America and experience in three-Michelin-starred
restaurant French Laundry. As the Swanson Sommelier, Chef
Zanow is involved in every step of the broth development process –
from the initial idea, to right before it hits shelves to ensure
that all broths meet the Swanson gold standard.
"A rich, flavorful broth is a must-have when making delicious
soups and savory meals," said Teresa
Sandstrom, senior marketing manager at Swanson.
"Every batch of Swanson chicken broth starts with a premium
double stock, which we carefully craft from 100% natural chicken
meat and bones that are gently simmered for 12 hours for richer
flavor. We commend at-home chefs that dedicate time to make
broth from scratch, but know this is not always an option. Our
broth is the ideal shortcut to homemade flavor at its best."
For the first time, Chef Zanow and his team are sharing the
flavor curve for Swanson chicken broth to widen perspectives
and deepen the appreciation for a broth's taste and quality.
"Take our Swanson 100% Natural Chicken Broth, for
example: The flavor experience starts with herbs like sage and
rosemary. Then, you taste rich, real dark and white meat chicken,
followed by a perfectly blended mirepoix (the ideal ratio of onion,
carrot and celery), and you finish with a savory umami flavor,"
says Chef Zanow. "Broth sets the taste and tone of your homemade
soups, and adds the essential flavor boost to a variety of dishes,
from rice and stuffing to sauces and meats."
