Gold Leaf Flakes - 1 Gram

Product Information

You can either position the flakes onto freshly melted wax (before applying the stamp), OR press them into place once your stamp has been made. During the first natural fermentation, the grapes are gently pressed out and kept in cool deep cellars - temperature controlled over weeks and months. In 1500 in Padua it was utilised so much that the City Council was forced to put a limit on its consumption for food purposes. While it may seem strange, you should know that genuine gold leaf, especially those marked as “edible” gold leaf, is indeed safe to eat.

The choice of the type of edible gold or silver to combine with the food depends on local regulations(*), on the chef’s inspiration and on the type of recipe being prepared. We have been in the gold leaf business for more than 20 years, producing for all major European branded leafs. You can wipe down the nail surface with a slip solution, anil wipes or Isopropyl alcohol on a cotton pad to reveal a smooth and cured final nail!The other Gold Chef products, powder, flakes and crumbs, are available in paper envelopes with parchment inside, or in glass jars, with a convenient spreader.

This means that the gold will not react inside your body and simply harmlessly pass through your digestive system. The process of making the different kinds of edible gold, such as leaf, crumbs, flakes and powder, takes place in line with GMP (General Manufacturing Practice) good manufacturing standards at the Giusto Manetti Battiloro company’s factory in Campi Bisenzio (Florence, Italy), which is certified for food coloring production.

A small pinch of these 23-carat gold flakes on top of a dark chocolate torte, chocolate truffle or even a jelly can transform it into something quite spectacular. Whilst imitation edible gold does exist, more often than not, real gold is what you will see when looking at edible gold leaf sheets. When processed in very thin layers (tenths of a micron), culinary gold and silver are tasteless and absolutely undetectable to the palate.
