Gelatine leaf is a transparent, flavourless and odourless ingredient often used in cooking and baking. It is made from collagen obtained from animal by-products such as skin and bones. Gelatine leaf is commonly used as a thickening agent in various recipes, especially in desserts like panna cotta, mousses, custards, and jellies. The sheets of gelatine are soaked in cold water to soften them before being dissolved and mixed into the desired dish to give it a smooth and gelatinous texture.
