Cuttlefish Ink

Squid ink is one of those ingredients that brings both depth and visual impact to a dish. These 2 x 4g squid ink sachets offer a convenient way to add a rich, briny flavour and striking natural black colour without the need for preparation.

The flavour is subtle but distinctive, gently savoury with a hint of the sea, designed to enhance rather than overpower. It blends smoothly into sauces, pasta doughs, risottos and seafood dishes, giving them a glossy finish and a deep, inky tone that instantly stands out on the plate.

Pre-portioned into sachets, it’s easy to control quantities and avoid waste, making it a practical addition for both everyday cooking and more considered dishes. Whether stirred through a seafood risotto or used to create black pasta or bread, squid in offers a simple way to add something a little different to familiar recipes.

Key Features:

• 2 x 4g squid ink sachets.
• Pre-measured for convenience and portion control.
• Natural black colouring for striking presentation.
• Smooth consistency for easy mixing into liquids and doughs.
• Ideal for pasta, risotto, sauces and seafood dishes.
• Long shelf life compared to fresh squid ink.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Mix into pasta dough for jet-black strands, finished with olive oil, garlic and seafood.
• Stir through at the final stage for a glossy, deeply flavoured risotto.
• Blend into mayonnaise with lemon and garlic for a bold accompaniment to fish or chips.
• Add to dough for a dark, dramatic bread with a subtle savoury note.

How much squid ink should be used per dish?

A little goes a long way. One 4g sachet is typically enough to colour and flavour pasta dough for two to three portions or a risotto serving four people, depending on the intensity you prefer.

Does squid ink change the texture of food?

When used correctly, it has minimal impact on texture. It integrates smoothly into liquids and doughs, helping to create a slightly silkier finish in sauces and a supple texture in pasta.

Why is squid ink used in cooking?

Beyond its colour, squid ink adds a subtle umami depth that complements seafood and savoury dishes. It’s widely used in Mediterranean cooking, particularly in Italian and Spanish recipes, for both flavour and presentation.
