Apple sauce from Alva for cheeses, poultry or fish
Step-by-step recipe for thick apple sauce from the Alva variety with light raspberry notes. An ideal accompaniment to cheeses, poultry and fish. A healthy alternative to fatty sauces.
Description and taste
This is a thick, flavorful sauce with a mild apple flavor. To prepare it, we chose the Alva variety. Its aroma has notes of fresh raspberries. With slight heating, this shade intensifies and resembles a dessert.
The sauce adds contrast to salty foods: cheese - juiciness and fruity freshness, poultry - a soft sweetness that balances the fried crust and emphasizes the taste of the meat. Baked or fried fish
Benefit and balance
Alva contains dietary fiber (including pectin) and organic acids. Compared to creamy sauces, this option is lighter: it has less fat and no added sugar.
Fruit sourness stimulates appetite and makes it easier to accept fatty foods. Therefore, apple sauces are traditionally served with poultry, fish and cheeses.
