Stock is the base for almost everything in a kitchen. It's used for everything from gravies to soups. It is reduced and seasoned so when making it's best not to add salt. Reducing the stock results in making it too salty, plus it seasoned when making things with it. Starting with an unsalted stock allows the chef to adjust it his final product without the danger of it become too salty.
