Carles Mampel is a reference in the pastry industry both in Spain and the world, known for his creativity and ability to transform ingredients into authentic works of art.

Mojito Sphere: The essence of summer

One of the most outstanding creations from this collaboration is the “Mojito Sphere.” This dessert perfectly encapsulates the freshness and vibrancy of summer, combining refreshing flavors. In this recipe, Carles Mampel has used a variety of gelling agents that stand out for their unique properties and their ability to transform textures. These include:

  • Agar-agar: A vegetable gelling agent known for its gelling power and transparency.
  • Freeze Veggie Gel: Ideal for creating stable gelatins that resist freezing and thawing, perfect for cold preparations.
  • Bovine gelatin: Classic and versatile, it provides a soft and malleable texture to preparations.

These techniques and gelling agents create a unique sensory experience, where each mojito sphere becomes an explosion of flavor and freshness, ideal for sunny days and warm summer nights.
