So, what is gomma di xantano?

Gomma di xantano, also known as xanthan gum, is a versatile and widely used food ingredient. It is a natural polysaccharide derived from the fermentation of carbohydrates by the Xanthomonas campestris bacterium. This odorless and tasteless powder is soluble in water and forms a thick, viscous gel when mixed with liquids. Gomma di xantano is a popular food stabilizer and thickener, commonly used in dressings, sauces, bakery products, and dairy alternatives. It also provides a gluten-free option for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Due to its unique properties, gomma di xantano has become a staple ingredient in many recipes, both in the home kitchen and in commercial food production.
