Texturas<br />
Texturas<br />
Since its inception in 1997, el Bullitaller (El Bulli) has had<br />
the goal of broadening the range of possible textures in<br />
cooking. <strong>The</strong> fruit of this experimentation is a series of<br />
techniques that, like foams, clouds, etc., have brought<br />
about a revolution in gastronomy.<br />
El Bulli presents the Texturas line of products, essential for<br />
you to be able to incorporate some of El Bulli’s best-known<br />
techniques in your kitchen, such as hot gelatins, airs, melon<br />
caviar or spherical ravioli.<br />
<strong>The</strong> products that make the Emulsificación, Sferificación,<br />
Gelificación and Espesantes lines are the result of a rigorous<br />
process of selection and experimentation.<br />
Texturas are a gateway to a world of magical sensations that<br />
will no doubt continue to grow.<br />

Gelificación<br />
Gelatins are one of the most typical preparations in classical<br />
cuisine, and with modern cooking they have evolved much<br />
further. <strong>The</strong> Gelificación family includes five gelifiers with<br />
different characteristics. Agar is a seaweed derivative, which<br />
has been used for some years now. <strong>The</strong> Kappa and Iota<br />
carrageenans are also obtained from seaweed and have<br />
particular characteristics of elasticity and firmness. Gellan<br />
obtains a firm, rigid gel. Metil, extracted from cellulose,<br />
offers interesting new applications.<br />

Espesantes<br />
Products for thickening sauces, creams, juices and soups have always been used in<br />
the kitchen. Starches and flour are the traditional thickeners but the disadvantage<br />
is that a large quantity has to be added, which affects the final taste.<br />
With the Espesantes, El Bulli presents a new product, which can thicken kitchen<br />
preparations using a minimum quantity, and without distorting the initial taste<br />
characteristics.<br />

Surprises<br />
This is a line of products that can be consumed<br />
directly, either on their own or mixed with other<br />
ingredients and preparations.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are products with different characteristics<br />
from one to the other but with one common<br />
denominator — their special texture, individual<br />
and unique to each of them. Flavors and textures<br />
represent a fantastic, surprising solution to finishing<br />
recipes of both sweet and savory nature.<br />
Effervescent in the case of Fizzy, light in Malto,<br />
crunchy in Crumiel and Trisol, and Yopul as a<br />
substitute when it is not possible to use fresh<br />
yogurt.<br />

Sferificación<br />
Spherification is a spectacular culinary<br />
technique that El Bulli put into practice in<br />
2003; it allows a cook to prepare recipes<br />
never before imagined. It consists of<br />
controlled jellification of a liquid mixed<br />
with Algin that, submerged in a Calcic<br />
bath, allows one to make sphere-shaped<br />
preparations in various sizes; caviar, eggs,<br />
gnocchi, ravioli…<br />
It is a relatively new concept that remains to be explored,<br />
but it has already produced brilliant results. With some<br />
ingredients, Citras must be used to correct acidity.<br />
Spherification requires the use of specific tools (Eines),<br />
included in the kit.<br />
