SOSA - Natural Thickener
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
Whisk or blend into the liquid preparation with an immersion blender to prevent lumps. Use cold or hot, depending on the recipe, then leave to thicken for a few minutes.
