The sugar that behaves: melts clear, stays clear, and lets you build things.

Sosa isomalt in granules, a sugar substitute used in pastry for artistic preparations and sugar decorations, from the Spanish specialist in technical ingredients.

Less sweet than sugar, it is chosen for how it works more than for how it tastes.

Melt and pour into moulds for clear decorations, pull into shards for plated desserts, or make glass-like garnishes for cocktails. Follow Sosa's guidance on temperatures.
