Characteristics for pastry
From a technical point of view, this neutral glaze offers irreplaceable advantages. In addition to providing the characteristic 'mirror effect', it performs a fundamental protective function: it isolates from the air, preventing the oxidation and browning of fresh fruit arranged for decoration. Being completely neutral in both flavor and color, it becomes an extremely versatile base that the professional can freely customize, adding flavoring pastes, water-soluble food coloring, or fruit purees to match the coating to the aromatic profile of the dessert.
Use in the professional lab
In the daily work of the laboratory, Gelatin-Glassé stands out for its exceptional practicality. Designed for cold use, it can be applied directly to surfaces without needing to be heated. Thanks to its carefully studied consistency, it spreads very easily with a spatula, guaranteeing a perfectly homogeneous and air-bubble-free coverage on mousses, semifreddos, bavarois, and modern cakes. Depending on the specific needs of the recipe, it can be used pure or slightly diluted with water or syrup.
Format and storage
The product is packaged in a sturdy and practical 7 kg food-grade plastic bucket. This generous format is specifically designed to meet the consumption needs of laboratories and large kitchens, optimizing the ratio between stocks and purchase frequency. To maintain its excellent structural properties unaltered, the bucket must be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
