Sosa Gelespessa Xantana Gum 500g

Thickening Agent

Sosa Gelespessa Xantana Gum 500g is a professional thickening agent made from naturally derived xanthan gum, designed to give smooth, stable texture to sauces, coulis, purées and dressings. Sourced from fermented corn starch, this versatile powder blends easily into liquids and delivers consistent results with minimal effort.

Unlike pure xanthan gum, Sosa Gelespessa is easier to handle and does not require exact weighing for reliable results. It can be used in both hot and cold preparations and is suitable for all water-based liquids. The finished result is a clean, glossy consistency that holds well on the plate and resists separation.

Gelespessa is also freezable and heat-resistant, making it a reliable thickening solution across a wide range of sweet and savoury recipes. Whether you're working on a fruit coulis for dessert or a savoury vegetable purée, this ingredient provides a stable texture that’s easy to work with in any kitchen.
