About Chef Parmalat
Chef Parmalat is the culinary line from Parmalat, one of Italy's largest dairy companies. The range provides professional-quality cooking creams and sauces in convenient UHT (ultra-high temperature) format, offering long shelf life without refrigeration until opened - perfect for keeping Italian cooking essentials in the pantry. The bechamel sauce products are kitchen time-savers, eliminating the need to prepare this classic French/Italian mother sauce from scratch. Traditional bechamel requires making a roux, gradually adding milk, and careful stirring to avoid lumps - Chef Parmalat delivers smooth, ready-to-use results. The Light version offers reduced-fat content for health-conscious cooking. Chef Parmalat cooking creams provide versatile bases for pasta sauces, soups, and gratins. The Panna (meaning cream in Italian) offers pure cooking cream for any recipe requiring cream. Flavoured variants like Porcini Mushroom Cooking Cream and Salmon Cooking Cream provide instant sauce bases - simply heat with pasta for a quick, flavourful meal. The UHT processing means these products stay fresh at room temperature for months, unlike fresh cream that requires refrigeration and has short shelf life. This makes Chef Parmalat ideal for stocking pantries without waste concerns. Italian homes often keep these products for quick weeknight dinners when time is limited. Adding pasta to porcini cream creates an elegant mushroom pasta in minutes. The salmon cream works beautifully with tagliatelle or as a base for fish dishes. Available at Ocado in the UK, Chef Parmalat brings authentic Italian convenience cooking to British kitchens.
