Gelatin is a colorless, flavorless substance
that is made from raw animal materials such as
skin, bones and cartilage. It is not only used for
sweets, but also for jellies, cheeses, yogurts, and
salad dressings to thicken the products.
The word “gelatine” comes originally from
Latin word “gelatus” and means “jellied, froze.”
Gelatine was first used in Egyptian times.
Traces of gelatine were found in a pharaoh
grave in the form of glue.
Gelatin was once considered a sign of
wealth, before the advent of prepared
gelatin, only members of the elite
classes could afford it. It took hours to
render gelatin, clarify it, and turn it
into fancy aspics, molded salads,
desserts. etc. The use of gelatin was a
sign that the host or hostess had the
means to support a kitchen staff with
the skill and time to create such a dish.

Observe the correct proportion of gelatin

soft product that will not form the desired
