Isomalt

Isomalt is a modern sugar substitute that has gained great popularity among professional confectioners thanks to its unique technical properties, especially for creating decorations. It is produced from beet sugar, but has a number of advantages over it.

The main advantage of isomalt is that it is significantly more stable than ordinary sugar: it barely absorbs moisture from the air, does not crystallise as quickly, and does not yellow when heated. This makes it an ideal material for creating clear, crystal-pure sugar decorations: imitations of glass, ice, precious stones, openwork elements, domes. Finished isomalt items keep their shape and shine longer and do not “weep” from moisture, unlike items of ordinary caramel. In addition, isomalt is lower in calories and not as sweet. Thanks to these properties, it has become an indispensable tool of the modern confectioner for creating durable, striking, and professional decor.
