Pork Gelatine Gelatine Powder 180 Bloom – Gelatus

Description

Latin Name: Gelatus

Origin Country: Belgium

Gelatus, from which the word “gelatine” is derived, is a Latin term meaning “frozen” or “jellied,” reflecting the wobbly, semi-solid texture associated with gelatinous substances. Gelatine is a colourless, flavourless, and translucent substance derived mainly from collagen— a protein found in animal connective tissues such as skin, bones, and cartilage.

Pork Gelatine Powder (180 Bloom) is a natural, unflavoured gelling agent derived from the collagen found in the skin and connective tissues of pigs. The “180 Bloom” refers to its gel strength, placing it in the medium range ideal for recipes that require a soft to moderately firm set, such as custards, mousses, marshmallows, and certain jellies. This fine, light-coloured powder is odorless and tasteless, making it easy to incorporate into both sweet and savoury dishes without affecting flavour. It is widely used in culinary applications for thickening, stabilizing, and gelling, and is also found in some cosmetic products. To use, the powder must first be “bloomed” in cold water before being dissolved in warm liquid. Pork gelatine is valued for its smooth texture, clarity, and consistent performance, offering a reliable solution for many recipes.

– To make an infusion

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of pork gelatine powder over 1/4 cup of cold water (or liquid). Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it absorbs the liquid and forms a soft gel. Gently heat the bloomed gelatine mixture over low to medium heat. Stir continuously until fully dissolved and smooth (do not boil). Once dissolved, you can add it to your main mixture (like juice, cream, or broth). Pour the final mixture into molds, glasses, or dishes. Refrigerate for 2–4 hours or until fully set. The 180 bloom gelatine will result in a soft to medium-firm gel, depending on the concentration used.

– Culinary Use

Pork Gelatine Powder (180 Bloom) is perfect when you need a gentle set, a smooth mouthfeel, or stability in your recipes. It works beautifully in delicate desserts, gourmet plating, or traditional savoury preparations.

Storage: Store Pork Gelatine Powder (180 Bloom) in a cool, dry place, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight. Keep it tightly sealed in its original packaging or an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption and preserve its gelling strength. Avoid storing it near strong-smelling substances, as gelatin can absorb odors. No refrigeration is required unless otherwise specified on the packaging.
