Note:

Glutasol – Not a spice, but a flavoring agent, used in most dishes, soups, sauces, savory omelets, sausages. It must not be cooked for a long time. It has no taste of its own, but it enhances every flavour. Therefore, it can be used in pickling meat. For more information on glutasol, see our glossary of gastronomic terms here.
