The company Sosa was founded in 1976 as a family business producing handcrafted, traditional Catalan wafers and Christmas sweets. At the turn of this century, a new approach to gastronomy began presenting a fresh perspective on the world of modern cuisine. This movement was led by Ferran Adrià of famed restaurant El Bulli, northern Spain. In response to this, Sosa Ingredients (Sosa) was conceived to develop texturising agents and unique and novel gastronomic ingredients.
Today Sosa has two production sites, is present in more than 80 countries, and their range comprises of more than 10 unique product categories. The company is defined by the pillars of limitless creativity, knowledge exchange, and modern gastronomy. As they say at Sosa, “we imagine tomorrow’s gastronomy”. Their mission is to inspire and build a global community around innovation and creativity.
With a defined emphasis on natural ingredients, their entire catalogue of products brilliantly illustrates their unique approach: gelling, whipping and airing agents; technical sugars; crumbles and airbags; candied nuts, flours, pure nut pastes and pralines; freeze dried fruit and wet proof crispies; and preserved fruit and pastes… Sosa is a cornucopia of culinary possibilities. Recently, Sosa has put an emphasis on the benefits of plant-based food and helping customers conceive new recipes.
Redmond Fine Foods are working with Sosa since 2009, transitioning over the years from the chef’s secret ingredient to today’s gastronomic necessity.
