Distillerie du Périgord offers a range of gelified alcohols available in 2-liter drums.

Gelified alcohol makes it easy to incorporate into preparations and retains its aromatic intensity. Today, let’s take a look at how to use gelified alcohols, as well as the benefits for pastry professionals.

Gelified alcohol, what are the benefits for pastry chefs?
It’s easy of use: Thanks to its gel texture, the alcohol integrates seamlessly into recipes without soaking doughs and creams.

Precise dosing: The gelified form allows for better quantity control, preventing excessive alcohol and ensuring perfect homogeneity.

Preserved aromatic intensity: Unlike traditional alcohols that evaporate during baking, gelified alcohols retain their full flavor for longer.

Better adhesion: Ideal for soaking cakes without making them too soggy, perfect for babas, savarins, and other syrup-infused desserts.

Here are some possible applications
1. Traditional Pastries
o Rum babas and savarin cakes soaked in gelified alcohol for a moist texture and intense flavor.
o Cakes and biscuits (e.g., Black Forest cake with Kirsch, madeleines with Cognac).

2. Ganaches and Creams
o Flavoring pastry creams, mousselines, and whipped creams.
o Incorporation into chocolate ganaches, especially with Whisky or Brandy.

3. Confectionery and Chocolates
o Flavoring chocolate bonbons, pralines, and truffles.
o Filling or coating for alcohol-infused macarons.

4. Ice Creams and Modern Desserts
o Integration into ice creams and sorbets for intense flavor and smooth texture.
o Use in foams and alcohol-based mousses.

5. Viennoiseries and Pastry Layers
o Raisin bread and brioches infused with Brandy or Cognac.
o Puff pastries and mille-feuille flavored with Rum or Calvados.

Thanks to their quality, practicality, and aromatic intensity, the Distillerie du Périgord’s gelified alcohol represent an added value for all pastry chefs.
