Although vacuum-packed food has been around since the 1940s when deli meats were first vacuum-sealed, Cuisine Solutions and our Chief Scientist, Dr. Bruno Goussault, pioneered the science of sous vide, one of the most important innovations in modern cuisine. Our distinguished culinary team was among the first in the world to recognize the power of the sous vide method and its ability to precisely prepare food with more tenderness and flavor than can be obtained through traditional cooking techniques.
