Agar – TEXTURAS by Albert and Ferran Adrià
The gel that holds when everything else melts. TEXTURAS Agar is Albert and Ferran Adrià's refined agar gelling agent — extracted from red algae of the Gelidium and Gracilaria genera — and it possesses one extraordinary quality that sets it apart from every other gelling agent in the modernist kitchen: it gels hot.
While conventional gelatin melts and collapses the moment a warm plate or a warm sauce touches it, TEXTURAS Agar holds its structure at temperatures of up to 80°C — opening up a world of dramatic culinary possibilities that simply do not exist with any other gelling agent. Hot jellies that maintain perfect form on a warm plate. Gels that survive the heat lamp. Structures that hold through plating, service, and the first cut of a knife — all with the clean, precise texture that elBullitaller demanded from every ingredient it developed.
Mix cold and bring to a boil to activate. Rapid gelation follows as it cools. A fiber source from pure red algae, forming stable gels at remarkably low concentrations with a refined powder that dissolves cleanly and performs consistently.
Note: gelling capacity reduces in acidic media — adjust preparations accordingly for best results.
Perfect for: Hot jellies, warm gels, coatings, aspics, modernist plating, gel sheets, savory and sweet preparations, vegan gelatin applications, and any dish demanding a gel that holds its shape at serving temperature.
