Sosa Glycerine 1.3kg

Vegetable Glycerol

Sosa Glycerine 1.3kg is a versatile food-grade liquid used widely in baking, patisserie, confectionery and modernist cuisine. Known for its ability to retain moisture and control crystallisation, it helps improve the texture and shelf life of a wide range of sweet recipes.

Commonly used in icing, fondant and soft cakes, glycerine keeps baked goods moist and soft for longer. It also prevents sugar from crystallising, which is particularly useful in recipes like fudge, royal icing and syrups. In chocolate and sugar work, it ensures a smoother consistency and a more stable finish.

Sosa Glycerine can also be used as a humectant in sugar-free baking, helping maintain a pleasant mouthfeel when ingredients like sorbitol or xylitol are used. It dissolves easily into aqueous liquids and is suitable for both hot and cold use, making it a valuable ingredient in any kitchen that values consistency and quality.
