Description
Tara shrubs (Caesalpinia spinosa) are wild perennials that exclusively grow in Peru. The tara pods (fruits) are collected and threshed on the spot to separate the seeds. In our Swiss factory, we ground the endosperms into tara gum, using purely physical methods.
naltive tara gum provides thickness and mouthfeel for many food applications. Specifically in ice cream, naltive tara gum prevents the growth of ice crystals, improves resistance to heat-shock, and provides a smooth meltdown.
Clean label, this high-performance grade offers several technical and sensorial benefits in various applications.

- Makes the gel structure considerably more elastic
- Very good aroma release
- Taste neutrality and no off-flavour
