White and cream sauces
2 productsWhite and cream sauces
White and cream sauces are smooth, creamy sauces usually made from milk, cream, butter and flour (such as a béchamel base), sometimes supplemented with herbs, cheese or stock.
The taste is mild, creamy and slightly savory, with a soft texture. They are used in pasta, casseroles, vegetable dishes, meat and fish dishes.
They are popular because they give dishes a full, soft taste and creamy structure without being overpowering.
