What gives Pâte de Fruit its characteristic succulent texture?

Organic ‘Spring Bright’ Nectarine Pate de Fruit

Apple Pectin

Unlike gummies, which are made with animal gelatine and have a chewy and elastic texture, pâte de fruit is softer with a tenderness that aids the flavor to linger 😋 lasting longer and allowing it to evolve in your palate—that's why you find yourself still discovering some after notes, moments after the first bite, like the mezcal in my Paloma pâte de fruit!

Apple Pectin is what makes pâte de fruit vegan friendly 💚 You wouldn't think just a small difference like the type of setting agent, results in a longer and much more intricate process which often requires a lot of recipe testing. The success of apple pectin relies on many variables, but I'll leave the details for another post—it's the end of the week and I don't want to oversaturate you with information 😉
