Cumberland sauce is an exquisite signature sauce born from British culinary traditions. Its distinctive bright flavor is a harmony of sweetness and mild tartness, thanks to red currant jelly, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Refreshing citrus notes of orange and lemon give it a refined aftertaste. It pairs wonderfully with game, roasted meats, and fish, revealing their flavors in new dimensions. Cumberland is not just a sauce but a sophisticated addition to the meal that enriches dishes with a noble sweet-and-sour palette. It can be served hot or cold, allowing for experimentation with textures and flavor nuances.
