Description
Gelita Gold Gelatin Sheets are the global benchmark for professional pastry chefs, offering unmatched clarity, consistency, and a clean "melt-in-the-mouth" texture. These "Gold" grade sheets feature a Bloom strength of 200, providing a firm yet delicate set that is superior to powdered gelatin. Unlike powder, gelatin sheets ensure a perfectly transparent result without the risk of undissolved granules or a cloudy finish in your delicate creams and jellies.
Designed for precision in high-end kitchens, Gelita sheets allow for easy counting rather than weighing, ensuring every batch of mousse or panna cotta is identical. As a Canadian seller based in Calgary, Alberta, we provide these essential structural ingredients with fast shipping across Canada to support your professional production standards.
BEST FOR: Clear jellies, mirror glazes, mousses, panna cotta, marshmallows, and Bavarian creams.
DIETARY NOTE: DERIVED FROM HIGH-QUALITY PORK (PORCINE) SOURCES.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I bloom Gelita Gold sheets?
Soak the sheets in very cold water for 5–10 minutes. Once soft, squeeze out the excess water and dissolve immediately into a warm liquid (at least 35°C / 95°F).
Can I substitute these for Silver or Bronze sheets?
Yes, but note that Gold sheets have a higher Bloom strength (200). You may need slightly fewer sheets than you would with Bronze (140 Bloom) to achieve the same firm set.
Is it necessary to weigh the sheets?
In professional recipes, 1 sheet of Gelita Gold typically weighs 2.5 grams. Most chefs find counting sheets more efficient than weighing for consistent results.
Can I use this with acidic fruits like pineapple?
Fresh pineapple, kiwi, and papaya contain enzymes that break down gelatin. You must heat these fruits to 85°C to deactivate the enzymes before adding the gelatin.
