It is a potassium salt of tartaric acid extracted from grapes or tamarind. It is a natural leavening agent that is used together with sodium bicarbonate to leaven doughs: it is ‘activated’ in the presence of water and, by reaction, its slight acidity develops carbon dioxide gas, thus allowing cakes to rise, imparting softness without weighing them down. When used alone, it helps stabilise egg proteins and create a stronger, longer-lasting foam that can then be used to create cakes such as cakes and meringue biscuits.
Our Cremor tartaro is sold in a recycled and recyclable aluminium tin, with a green bio-plastic bag made from sugar cane, 100% plastic free.
Bread & Pasta is a line of ingredients designed for bread-making that allows you to control and improve the leavening process and is a valuable support for the production of homemade dough.
