🧠 Summary
Hamé Horseradish 160 g is a spicy horseradish condiment traditionally used as a flavourful accompaniment to meats, smoked meats and sauces. It has a spicy flavour, a simple composition dominated by horseradish, and is ready for immediate use. Thanks to its oil, sugar and horseradish content, it offers a distinctive intensity of flavour that you can pair with both hot and cold dishes.
