Edible Gold & Silver from

Giusto Manetti Battiloro
The practice of decorating food with edible gold and silver dates back many centuries, back to the ancient Egyptians and even certain Native American tribes. In Italy it first appeared on the lavish banquet tables of 15th century Florentines in what was surely the most elegant culinary presentation ever devised. Tuscany's most esteemed producer, Giusto Manetti Battiloro, with two factories in Florence, has been the undisputed master of this technique since 1820, producing a range of edible 23 karat gold and pure silver leaf decorations to turn even the most ordinary meal into a feast fit for royalty. The company is so revered, their exquisite gold leaf has been used to restore such landmarks as Rockefeller Center, Buckingham Palace, and the Teatro la Fenice in Venice.

Giusto Manetti Edible Gold & Silver comes in both flakes and powder form, and using them is as easy as sprinkling salt over food. Impress your New Year's party guests by using the gold or silver powderto dust the rim of a chilled cocktail glass. Or, try floating the flakes in a Kir Royale or atop a Chocolate Martini. Use the flakes to adorn risotto, sushi or fruit salads. Perfect for pastry and chocolate work, elevate all kinds of desserts with these precious edible metals. Decorate dark chocolate desserts with silver powder for a stunning contrast, or use gold powder on vanilla frosting for cakes and cupcakes. And, because you may not live in Buckingham Palace, we'll ship our Edible Gold & Silver free when you order online. Cheers!
