Espuma Ravigote Sauce
Technique

Espuma ravigote sauce

An espuma is a light, airy sauce made using a siphon (also known as a whipped cream dispenser). The word espuma means ‘foam’ or ‘bubbles’ in Spanish. This technique is commonly used to create a delicate, airy texture in sauces, mousses or other dishes. Debic Culinaire Original is an ideal base for a well-balanced espuma, as a good espuma requires at least 10% fat. This ensures the cream can be mixed in equal parts with a liquid, such as stock or fruit purée, for a sweet variation. Espuma sauces are often used to elegantly finish dishes, adding both visual appeal and refined texture. They enhance flavour while providing a light, airy consistency, dispensed fresh from the siphon just before serving. The result is a modern, gastronomic interpretation of classic sauces.
