A Sachet D Epices is a not a stock but a stock enhancement that is a mixture of herbs and spices, usually bay leaf, peppercorns, fresh thyme, parsley stems and garlic, that are wrapped in cheese cloth and sealed with butcher’s twine. The advantage of the herbs being wrapped in cheesecloth, is that they can be placed below the bones while making stocks. This makes for easier skimming of the stock during the simmering and degreasing process. The Sachet D Epices herbs are contained in one place, rather than floating around in the stock.
