Sosa Agar Agar is a premium plant-based gelling agent derived from red algae, offering a clean, firm set that is stable at room temperature — unlike gelatine, which melts when warm. It is ideal for jellies, aspics, fluid gels, and structured desserts that need to hold their shape without refrigeration. Vegan, kosher, and halal, it is a versatile and reliable alternative to animal-based gelatine for professional and home kitchens alike.
Agar sets at a higher temperature than gelatine and produces a firmer, more brittle gel — perfect for preparations that need to hold their shape at room temperature or during service. It can also be blended when set to create smooth fluid gels for sauces and coulis with a unique, silky texture.
