Sosa Crystallised Rose Blossom 500g

Edible Rose Blossom

Sosa Crystallised Rose Blossom 500g is a delicate edible flower decoration made with natural rose blossom, crystallised with sugar and finished as fine 1mm pieces. It brings the unmistakable look of rose petals together with a sweet, floral character, making it particularly suited to patisserie, confectionery and elegant dessert presentation.

The small 1mm format makes these crystallised rose petals wonderfully easy to use. Sprinkle them over cakes, chocolates, macarons and petits fours, scatter them across iced biscuits or use them to add a pretty floral finish to plated desserts. They also pair beautifully with flavours such as raspberry, strawberry, pistachio, vanilla, white chocolate and dark chocolate.

Unlike larger edible flowers that can dominate a finished dessert, the finely cut blossom allows you to add rose in a more considered way. Use a light scattering for a subtle detail or incorporate the pieces into chocolate work, confectionery and decorative toppings.

At i4C, we love ingredients that can completely change the final look of a dessert without creating extra prep. Sosa Crystallised Rose Blossom is one of those finishing touches we’d reach for when decorating anything from pistachio and raspberry bakes to handmade chocolates and celebration cakes.

What flavours pair well with crystallised rose blossom?

Rose works particularly well with pistachio, raspberry, strawberry, lychee, cardamom and citrus flavours. It also provides a fragrant contrast to rich dark chocolate and complements the sweetness of white chocolate particularly well.

Can crystallised rose blossom be added to chocolate?

Yes. The small pieces can be scattered over freshly tempered chocolate, truffles and chocolate bars before they set. This allows the blossom to become part of the decoration while adding small bursts of floral sweetness.

Why are crystallised flowers used in patisserie?

Crystallisation preserves the decorative qualities of flowers while introducing a sweet finish that works naturally with desserts and confectionery. It provides an alternative to fresh flowers when creating detailed decorations for patisserie, petits fours, chocolates and celebration bakes.
