Nortindal Cuttlefish Ink – Authentic Spanish Squid Ink For Paella, Pasta & Gourmet Dishes

Description

Cuttlefish Ink by Nortindal is a prized culinary ingredient used across Mediterranean and modern kitchens for its intense black colour, silky texture, and rich umami flavour. Sourced from select cuttlefish off the coast of Spain, this ink delivers a slightly sweet marine character and deep pigmentation that surpasses standard squid ink — making it the preferred choice for chefs and home cooks alike.

Traditionally featured in Spanish arroz negro (black rice) and Italian squid ink pasta, this versatile ingredient is also excellent for flavouring and colouring:

• Seafood risottos

• Fideuà and paellas

• Black ravioli or pasta dough

• Gourmet breads and croquettes

• Aioli, sauces, and even compound butters

Its smooth texture and balanced salinity blend well with garlic, olive oil, seafood broth, and lemon, adding dramatic flair and a distinctive taste to both savoury and creative fusion dishes.

Each format contains pasteurized, ready-to-use ink — ideal for portioning without waste — and offers excellent shelf stability for pantry storage.
