Green Olive — Freeze-Dried Flour Taste Colour 400g — Sosa

Taste Colour Green Olive: the concentrated freshness of freeze-dried fruit

Produced by freeze-drying — a process that dehydrates the fruit by converting water directly from solid to vapour, preserving flavour, colour and natural properties in their entirety — this Sosa green olive flour is composed of freeze-dried green olive, salt and three naturally derived acidulants: lactic acid (E270), citric acid (E330) and ascorbic acid (E300). This entirely plant-based trio of acidulants is precisely what gives this flour its distinctive flavour profile: a bright freshness, a light fruity acidity and a luminous yellow-green colour — quite different from the deep, saline darkness of black olive flour.

Designed for chefs seeking to incorporate the aromatic power and vibrant colour of green olive without adding liquid, it offers a precise, reproducible technical solution available year-round.

Applications & Creative Inspirations

Remarkably versatile, freeze-dried green olive flour moves seamlessly from savoury to sweet — as illustrated by its full application range:

• Fresh pasta & flavoured breads: Incorporated directly into the dough, it colours and flavours uniformly — pasta in characteristic beige-green tones, or signature olive focaccia and grissini for a gastronomic aperitif.
• Biscuits & savoury puff pastry: A concentrated aromatic base for shortbread, pastries or crackers with fresh Mediterranean and umami notes.
• Macarons & royal icing: For chefs who dare the unexpected — a savoury green olive macaron, or a naturally green-tinted royal icing for original gastronomic decoration.
• Gelatines & mousses: In an aqueous medium, green olive flour yields gelatines of a luminous yellow-green colour — ideal as quenelles or domes on a fish or seafood plate.
• Ice cream & sorbet: Incorporated into a sorbet or ice cream base, it adds freshness and originality — particularly in combination with lemon, fennel or aromatic herbs.
• Creative chocolate work: Incorporated into white chocolate or cocoa butter, it creates tablets or coatings with olive-citrus notes highly sought after in avant-garde cuisine.

Recommended Complementary Products

Green olive flour pairs naturally with other Taste Colour range extracts — to build complex, coherent flavour profiles:

• Sosa Black Olive Flour — the deep, saline counterpart, ideal as a duo for an olive-on-olive contrast as shown in our application photograph.
• Sosa Natural Grilled (formerly Ember) Flavour Powder — a smoky, grilled dimension that extends the saline and fruity notes of green olive.
• Sosa Smoke Flavour Powder — for fish marinades replacing traditional smoking, a woody signature that pairs with the freshness of green olive.
• Sosa Cabernet Wine Powder — tannins and depth for elaborate gastronomic sauces or fish-and-vine pairings.
• Sosa Balsamic Vinegar Powder — the gentle acidity and roundness of balsamic as a counterpoint to the fresh fruitiness of green olive.

Technical Specifications

Technical tip: Freeze-dried green olive flour incorporates directly into dry mixes (flours, icing sugar, white cocoa powder) without altering the texture of the preparation. In an aqueous medium, it develops a luminous yellow-green colour and an aromatic freshness that is particularly striking in gelatines or mirror glazes. Its natural salt content should be factored into the overall seasoning balance of the recipe.
