Unflavored Bovine Bone Gelatin (165 Bloom, 8 Mesh) - 50 lb

What This Product Is

This is a pure, unflavored bovine bone gelatin in powder form, derived from beef bone collagen. Gelatin is the protein produced when collagen is broken down, and once dissolved in warm liquid and cooled it forms a clear, thermoreversible gel. With no flavor, color, or aroma of its own, it sets and thickens without changing the taste you are building.

What 165 Bloom Means For You

Bloom measures gel strength, and at 165 this is a low to moderate bloom grade that gives a soft to medium set. It offers a little more structure than the lowest blooms while still leaning tender, which makes it a flexible choice for creams, fillings, and soft set desserts that need slightly more body.

What 8 Mesh Means For You

Mesh describes the particle size of the powder, and at 8 mesh this is a coarse, granular grind. Coarser particles produce very little dust, pour and meter easily, and disperse without forming clumps when added to liquid, which makes this grind convenient for blooming and handling in large batch production. It does take longer to fully hydrate than a fine grind, so adequate soak time helps it dissolve evenly.

Common Uses

• Mousses, creams, and Bavarian creams
• Soft to medium fillings and dessert layers
• Panna cotta and custards
• Soft set jellies
• Aspics and savory set dishes
• Stabilizing whipped and aerated desserts

Why Buyers Choose It

At 165 bloom this bovine bone gelatin gives a touch more hold than the lowest blooms while keeping a tender character, making it a versatile soft to medium set option. The neutral unflavored profile works across sweet and savory applications, the coarse 8 mesh grind is low dust and easy to handle at volume, and as a beef bone source gelatin it suits operations that need a non porcine option.
