Custom Collagen Unflavored Bovine Bone Gelatin is a gelling and thickening agent made from beef bone collagen, supplied unflavored so it sets and stabilizes without changing the taste of the finished product. This is the 165 bloom, 8 mesh grade in a 50 lb bulk and wholesale format, a soft to moderate set gelatin in a coarse, granular grind built for large batch foodservice and manufacturing use.


Gelatin gives body and a tender set to mousses, creams, fillings, soft jellies, panna cotta, and aspics, and adds smoothness to sauces and cold preparations. It melts near body temperature for a clean release on the palate and resets on cooling, making it one of the most dependable texturizers in commercial food production.


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.


Bulk and Wholesale Format

This grade ships in a 50 lb bulk format priced for wholesale buyers, suited to manufacturers, confectioners, and high volume kitchens rather than retail needs. Quantity pricing is available for larger wholesale orders.


Halal Availability

A halal version of this bovine bone gelatin is available and can be requested as a separate option from the standard wholesale SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does 165 bloom compare to 150 bloom for set firmness?
A 165 bloom gives slightly more gel strength than 150, so it sets a touch firmer at the same dose while still staying on the tender side. Producers choosing between them are fine tuning how much body they want, and the small step up can matter in fillings that need a little more structure.
Can bovine bone gelatin be used to make protein supplements or snacks?
Gelatin is high in protein and low in fat and carbohydrate, so it is used in protein focused snacks and set desserts. It is not a complete protein because it lacks certain amino acids, so it is best treated as a protein contribution, and buyers should confirm nutritional details against the specification.
Does the source of gelatin affect its gelling behavior?
The bloom and dose drive gelling behavior more than the source, so bone, hide, and skin gelatins of the same bloom set similarly. Source can affect color, odor, and handling subtleties, which is why some producers specify a particular origin to match their existing process.
How should I store a 50 lb bag once it is opened?
An opened bag of gelatin should be resealed and kept in a cool, dry place away from humidity and strong odors, since the powder readily absorbs both. Many operations decant working amounts into a sealed container and keep the bulk supply closed to protect performance over time.
Is a halal version of this bovine bone gelatin available?
A halal version of this product is offered alongside the standard SKU. Operations with halal requirements should request that version specifically when ordering rather than the standard wholesale product.
