The producer: Elenka

Features for professional use
One of the most appreciated technical characteristics of this topping is its semi-dense consistency, specially formulated to adhere perfectly to cold surfaces. Unlike traditional sauces that tend to slide off or melt quickly upon contact with cold, the Elenka Topping remains stable and firm on gelato or semifreddi, guaranteeing an impeccable and long-lasting aesthetic presentation, which is essential in high-end dining. Furthermore, the sauce does not solidify at low temperatures, always maintaining the right creaminess on the palate. The practical squeeze bottle is designed to ensure optimal flow control during the decoration phase.
Applications in gelaterias and pastry shops
In the gelateria, this topping is the ideal ally to complete and enrich ice cream cups, frozen yogurt, and affogatos, creating pleasant color and flavor contrasts. In pastry and catering, it is widely used in the decoration of plated desserts such as panna cotta, cheesecake, bavaroise, and mousse. It is also perfect for the quick garnishing of hot preparations, such as crepes, waffles, and pancakes, where the heat further enhances the aromatic notes of the sour cherry. Its versatility makes it an essential ingredient at the workstation of every chef and gelato maker, ready to use to give the finishing touch to any creation.
Format and storage methods
The Elenka Amarena Topping is packaged in a 1 kg PET bottle, equipped with a convenient cap with a resealable dispensing nozzle, which guarantees maximum hygiene, practical dosing, and reduction of waste during service. The product is supplied in boxes of 10 pieces, an ideal format for managing professional stocks. To maintain the organoleptic qualities and the consistency of the sauce unchanged, it is recommended to store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and heat sources, maintaining a room temperature between 15°C and 25°C. It is advisable to shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the perfect homogeneity of the ingredients.
