Products by Salim
Reihan Baking Powder
Baking powder, the raising agent behind cakes, scones and pancakes. The one baking ingredient whose absence is discovered too late.
Reihan Corn Flour
Corn flour, used to thicken rather than to build — slurried into sauces, gravies and custards, and used to lighten a batter for frying.
Reihan Custard Powder
Custard powder, whisked into hot milk to set. The base of a trifle and the sauce beside a hot pudding, made without eggs or a bain-marie.
Reihan Vanilla Powder
Vanilla powder, for flavouring cakes, custards and icings. Powder rather than essence, so it goes into a dry mix without adding liquid to the batter.
Salim Cheddar Cheese Tin
Cheddar in a tin — shelf-stable, which is the whole point on an island supply run where a chilled chain is not guaranteed the entire way.
Salim Cheese Creamy Taste
The creamy-tasting cheese in the Salim range, milder than the cheddar. For sandwiches and breakfast plates rather than for cooking.
Salim Cream (Gaimar) Plastic Cup
Gaimar in a plastic cup — the thick cream eaten with roshi and honey at breakfast, and the version of this product a Maldivian household actually asks for by name.
Salim Cream Tin
Cream in a tin, shelf-stable rather than chilled. Poured over dessert or stirred into a curry, and stocked where fresh cream cannot be relied on to arrive.
Salim Portion Cheese (Triangle)
Portion cheese in triangles, individually wrapped. The format for a breakfast buffet or a lunchbox, where the portion is the product as much as the cheese is.
Salim Spreadable Cream Cheese
Spreadable cream cheese in a tub, for spreading and for cooking. The format a kitchen buys when it is going through cream cheese rather than portioning it out.
Spreadable Cream Cheese Square
The same spreadable cream cheese in individually wrapped squares — the portioned format, for a breakfast tray rather than a kitchen bench.
