Sosa Gelespessa 500 g
Xanthan gum-based thickener for hot and cold preparations.
Sosa Gelespessa is a natural-origin powdered thickener made by fermenting corn starch and combining it with maltodextrin and xanthan gum (E415). It works equally well with cold or hot water-based liquids (juices, broths, purées), has a neutral taste, and remains stable when frozen.

How to use
