No problem there. Seen some neg reviews talking about out of date etc so I checked and all were well in date (+3years left; 13/07/24). Real good for cheap simple pasta dishes, also great for paella & risotto. I have even used this to colour & flavour bread. Will buy again. Review: Excellent Squid Ink - I first tasted black squid ink risotto whilst in Spain and enjoyed it so much that I was determined to try making it at home. Unfortunately nobody seems to stock squid ink in our local supermarkets so I was delighted to find a source available from desertcart. When it arrived I was slightly disappointed to discover it was cuttlefish ink, but having read a few reports discovered this is quite common. These little sachets containing the black ink are just the right size for one risotto and my first attempt didn't disappoint. There are 4 sachets in each pack and two packs in this product, so you get 8 sachets of the black gold. Excellent product, not cheap but guaranteed to make a dramatic statement when used in a risotto. ## Features - Sachets of Squid (cuttlefish) ink for colouring and flavouring - Useful as a seafood stock base for paellas and soups - Used in traditional dishes like Arroz Negro (black rice) and Chipirones en su tinta (squid in ink) - Artisan-made Spanish product - Buy Spanish food direct from a UK based company ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DGTRP5U | | ASIN | B00DGTRP5U | | Best Sellers Rank | 104,036 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 2,822 in Herbal Tea | | Brand Name | Nortindal | | Country of Origin | Spain | | Country of origin | Spain | | Cuisine | Spanish | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (189) | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (189) | | Flavour | cuttlefish | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item Package Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 4 Grams | | Manufacturer | Nortindal | | Manufacturer | Nortindal | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Imported by Delicioso UK Ltd.

But the instructions on the packet say to 'mix 1g with 100ml water or stock'. All I can tell you for sure is that we used 4 sachets - i.e. 16g - for a main course risotto for 6 people and it was pitch black and very delicious. Hope this helps **Q: What are the ingredients? Water ink salt? Is there any other ingredients? Thanks** A: Good morning, The ingredients are as follows: Sterilised Cuttlefish ink 40%, water, salt, thickener: Sodium carboxymethlycellulose. Thank you. **Q: is this item durable?** A: I don't know what you mean by durable. Are you concerned that the sachets might burst? I ordered mine and it arrived safely. Used some in England and then brought some sachets to Spain packed in hold luggage on the plane. It survived the journey perfectly well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect, great value and real tasty *by A***R on 17 November 2020* Item recieved slightly deviated from listing by being 1x(8x4g) pack, instead of 2x(4x4g) packs. No problem there. Seen some neg reviews talking about out of date etc so I checked and all were well in date (+3years left; 13/07/24).

Unfortunately nobody seems to stock squid ink in our local supermarkets so I was delighted to find a source available from Amazon. When it arrived I was slightly disappointed to discover it was cuttlefish ink, but having read a few reports discovered this is quite common. These little sachets containing the black ink are just the right size for one risotto and my first attempt didn't disappoint. There are 4 sachets in each pack and two packs in this product, so you get 8 sachets of the black gold. Excellent product, not cheap but guaranteed to make a dramatic statement when used in a risotto. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tasting ink, convenient package if cooking small amounts. *by M***A on 11 May 2015* Great ink, very nice flavour and the small individual packets are excellent if you don't cook with squid ink very often. I found that I need to use at least double the recommended amount in my arroz negro to achieve the desired flavour, however I think it is up to individual taste. If you are cooking for a large group of people, it can get very fiddly to open and empty a lot of these little sachets as inevitably your hands will get dirty, also there could be a lot of wastage if you do not squeeze the sachets properly. After finishing this packet of squid ink sachets, I bought a 90g jar and found it so much more convenient to use and perhaps because of the size of the jar, it seems so much more aromatic and 'fishy' smelling. It is also great to add it into pasta dough, your pasta will be very dark and goes really well with white crab meat, so simple to make and looks very "chefy". ## Frequently Bought Together - 2 packs of Squid (cuttlefish) Ink sachets 4 x 4g - La Molisana Black Squid Ink Spaghetti (3 x 500g Packs) and Wipe-Clean Recipe Card - Alises 32g Squid (Cuttlefish) Ink Sachets (8 x 4g), of ready to eat, edible Ink --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/47912302-2-packs-of-squid-cuttlefish-ink-sachets-4-x-4g](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/47912302-2-packs-of-squid-cuttlefish-ink-sachets-4-x-4g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
