Customer feedback describes the bouillon as good quality, including for soups and stews, but reports mixed reactions to its saltiness. For stock made at the stated 25g-per-litre ratio, that matters when seasoning a dish. Aggregate ratings are generally favourable but include a spread of lower ratings, so they do not establish that every buyer will like the flavour.
Positive themes
- Customers describe the product as good quality and mention using it for soups and stews.
Mixed feedback
