Citric acid

Citric acid is a natural food ingredient widely used in cooking, confectionery and mixology. It is a white crystalline powder with a pronounced sour taste, allowing you to easily adjust the acidity of dishes and drinks without adding excess liquid.

In bar culture, citric acid is indispensable for creating rich sour notes in cocktails, especially when you need to achieve a bright citrus effect without using fresh fruit. It is ideal for making homemade lemonades, sorbets, sour candies, as well as for acidifying jams, sauces and marinades.

Due to its high concentration, citric acid is extremely economical to use: just one pinch can dramatically change the flavor profile of a dish or drink. It also acts as a natural preservative, extending the shelf life of products and preventing them from darkening.
