Louis François NH Pectin Nappage is a professional-grade thermoreversible pectin specifically formulated for nappage — the glossy, transparent glaze used in professional patisserie to coat fruit tarts, entremets, and pastries with a flawless, mirror-like finish. Unlike yellow pectin, NH Nappage pectin can be remelted and reapplied multiple times without losing its gelling properties, making it ideal for high-volume professional production.
NH Nappage pectin produces an exceptionally clear, high-gloss gel with a soft, flexible set that adheres beautifully to fruit and pastry surfaces. It works at lower sugar concentrations than yellow pectin, making it more versatile and easier to use across a wide range of glazing applications. Its neutral flavour ensures it enhances the appearance of your creations without masking their taste.

- Entremet and mousse cake glazing — produces a soft, flexible, mirror-like finish
