Frequently Asked Questions
What is ragu sauce?
Ragu is a traditional Italian meat-based sauce, slowly cooked with tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, and herbs for a rich, thick consistency. It's the star of dishes like spaghetti bolognese and is distinct from smoother tomato sauces due to its hearty chunks.
How do I use Ragu sauce in recipes?
Heat gently on the stove and toss with cooked pasta, or layer in lasagne and bakes. For authenticity, simmer with a splash of red wine or cream. It's also great over rice, potatoes, or as a pizza topping.
How should I store Ragu sauce?
Keep unopened jars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, store in the fridge and consume within 3-5 days. Freeze portions in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
Are your Ragu sauces suitable for vegetarians?
We offer both classic meat ragus and meat-free alternatives made with lentils or mushrooms. Always check product labels for specific dietary info.
What's the difference between Ragu and Bolognese?
Bolognese is a specific type of ragu from Bologna, featuring minced beef, pancetta, and milk. Our ragu range includes Bolognese-style and other regional variations for diverse Italian flavours.
