Product Review: Mayacamas Chicken Flavored Gravy Mix

The review for today is Mayacamas Chicken Flavored Gravy Mix. The mix is gluten free and vegetarian, perfect for guests with special dietary needs.

I have to be honest and say that I expected this review to be “taking one for the team”. As a general rule, I avoid anything meat “flavored”, especially when it is vegetarian. I’m always afraid that it will be too artificial tasting to be good. I was very pleasantly surprised by this product, however, and am glad I tried it.

The mix is inexpensive, which is good because it only makes one cup of gravy. It is very easy to make. Just whisk the mix with water and bring to a boil over med-high heat.

Once made, the gravy is smooth, golden-brown and quite tasty. The consistency is perfect with a nice thickness that is not too much. I expected it to be electric yellow like the gravy in the school used to be, so the color pleased me. The flavor was great. It tasted exactly the way that chicken gravy should.

Overall, I would recommend this mix for any of the holiday dinners that are in the works. It is perfect for anyone who is trying to accommodate gluten free and vegetarian guests.
