Blackcurrant Crispy - Freeze-Dried Fruit Pieces 200g - Sosa

Blackcurrant Crispy 2-10mm: the colour and elegance of cassis

Sosa's Blackcurrant Crispy 2-10mm comes in the form of freeze-dried granulated pieces measuring 2 to 10mm, deep purple in colour, bringing natural crunch and blackcurrant's intense, tangy, aromatic flavour — also known as cassis, this berry from the Ribes family. Its personality is unmatched: the base of the famous liqueur and the kir cocktail, it brings depth, elegance and a spectacular purple colour, difficult to achieve naturally.

Freeze-dried and uncoated, it retains full flavour expression and the fruit's natural colour, with 38.5% blackcurrant. Highly hygroscopic, it performs best in dry or fatty applications; on moist media, add it just before serving to preserve the crunch.

Applications

• Chocolate work: incorporate into chocolate and couvertures for a purple colour and a tangy, aromatic contrast.
• Sophisticated decoration: sprinkle over macarons, biscuits and tarts.
• Creams and ice creams: add at the time of serving and store dry between uses.

Use

Store in a dry place (humidity <60%), at a stable temperature (15-25°C), away from light and odours. Once opened, keep at room temperature; a desiccant sachet helps preserve the crunch for around 15 days. Without a protective coating, it softens on direct contact with moist media — reserve it for dry and fatty applications, or add it as a decoration just before serving.
