Valrhona Absolu Cristal Neutral Glaze

A flawless finish is the mark of a professional — and Absolu Cristal is the glaze that delivers it. Valrhona's benchmark neutral glaze produces a brilliant, crystal-clear shine that elevates tarts, entremets, and fruit-based desserts from homemade to showstopping. It is the finishing touch that makes everything look as good as it tastes.

Absolu Cristal is exceptionally versatile: it can be applied hot or cold, used straight from the tub or warmed for a more fluid consistency, and easily adapted with flavourings, colours, or fruit purées to suit any creation. Its neutral flavour means it never competes with the dessert beneath — it simply enhances and protects it.
