Knorr has been trusted in kitchens since 1838, when Carl Heinrich Knorr set out to create ingredients that delivered more flavour with less waste. Nearly two centuries on, that same philosophy still drives the brand.

The Knorr Professional Gravy range provides a strong, well balanced flavour base designed specifically for foodservice kitchens. Built to perform under pressure, these gravies hold their quality through peak service, plate cleanly and deliver consistent results shift after shift.

Create signature gravies by finishing with pan juices, herbs, stocks or regional flavours
