The secret behind our freeze-dried candies
Curious about how our delicious freeze-dried candies are made? This fascinating, albeit somewhat technical, process is the key to their unique flavor and inimitable texture. In this article, we reveal all about the process, and how it creates irresistible candies, made locally here.
What is freeze drying?
Also known as "sublimation drying", is a food preservation process that involves gently removing water from food without cooking it. This process involves three key steps: freezing, vacuum drying, and sublimation.
Freezing : It all starts with the rapid freezing of the sweets or ingredients. This helps preserve their initial structure and nutrients.
Vacuum drying : Then, the frozen candies are placed in a vacuum chamber. At this stage, the water contained in the candies passes directly from the solid state (ice) to the gaseous state (vapor), without passing through the liquid phase. This is called sublimation.
Sublimation : Finally, the water vapor is eliminated, which allows the candies to retain their shape, color, and much of their natural flavor, while being reduced by a large amount of water.
Why choose freeze-dried candy?
-
Intense flavor : by removing the water, freeze-drying concentrates the flavors of the candies. You thus obtain an explosion of taste in your mouth, more intense than classic candies.
