A 100% vegetable gelling agent, certified organic

Agar agar is a polysaccharide extracted from certain species of red seaweed. In this organic version, the seaweed comes exclusively from controlled, sustainable cultivation in Brittany, without chemical fertilizers or synthetic products. This approach guarantees an end product that is environmentally friendly, traceable, and compliant with vegan diets.

Unlike gelatin of animal origin, agar agar is ethically inert and can be incorporated into vegetarian or vegan preparations. It contains no gluten, allergens, additives or preservatives, making it a healthy, pure and versatile ingredient.

Advanced technical features for the modern kitchen

This thermoreversible gelling agent is activated only after it has been brought to the boil (100°C). Gelling then begins as soon as the temperature drops below 43°C. This behavior makes it a very interesting ingredient for precision kitchens, where temperature control is essential. The resulting gel remains at room temperature, with no need for refrigeration, making it ideal for on-the-go catering, takeaways or buffets.

One of the technical particularities of the organic agar agar offered here is its ability to gel even liquids containing alcohol, which is not the case with all agar qualities on the market. This property makes it possible to create gelled cocktails, alcoholic spherifications or innovative inserts in pastries.

Professional instructions: three simple steps

To ensure optimum activation of the agar agar, a three-step method is recommended:

1. Dispersion: Mix the powder in a cold liquid (water, fruit purée, plant milk, etc.), stirring vigorously to avoid lumps.

2. Hydration and dissolution: Bring the solution to the boil. This step is essential to activate the polysaccharide chains responsible for gelation.

3. Cooling: Once dissolved, pour into desired molds or containers. Gel forms gradually from 43°C.

The final gel is stable up to 70°C, enabling it to be presented at room temperature. However, it cannot be frozen, otherwise it will lose its gel-forming properties.

Dosage according to desired texture

Agar agar is highly concentrated. It is therefore necessary to adapt the quantity to the desired effect. Here are the recommended dosages:

1.6 g/L: very soft texture (light creams, toppings)

3 g/L: soft texture (mousses, custards)

10 g/L: firm texture (fruit pastes, jelly cubes)

14 g/L: very firm texture (cutting jellies, architectural jellies)

This flexibility makes agar ideal for custom textures, from the softest to the most solid.

Vegetable pastries: flans, entremets, bavarois

Fruit or vegetable jellies: for inserts or decorations

Spherifications or gelled pearls: in cocktails or gourmet bites

Confectionery: animal gelatin-free marshmallows, firm candies

Texturizing sauces and creams: to make them stable without eggs or starches
