Food gold has been used since ancient times by the Egyptians. Both gold and silver have been used throughout the ages as food additives and in the preparation of various speciality drinks.
Nowadays, these two edible metals are a real delight for prestigious chefs and confectioners around the world.
Food grade gold and silver are pure gold and silver, which are edible; ingested, they present no danger, being neutral in taste and chemically inert. Both the EU and the USA have authorised their use as food additives.
Currently, in the luxury food industry, Gold and Silver are most commonly used in these forms: Powders, Granules, Flakes or Foite.
Gold or Silver Powders, Granules and Flakes are used as an addition in alcoholic beverages, sprinkled or added on the surface of chocolate products, various types of desserts or platters with culinary preparations and Gold or Silver Foil is applied on the surface of products, which are more delicate and more difficult to work with.
Decorating, desserts or other food products, with pure Gold or Silver is the new trend in luxury restaurants worldwide.
This technique produces products with a precious and particularly elegant appearance, the symbolic power of these metals and their aesthetic qualities remaining the same over time.
