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 180 bloom, 8 mesh grade in a 50 lb bulk and wholesale format, a moderate set gelatin in a coarse, granular grind built for large batch foodservice and manufacturing use.


Gelatin gives body and a balanced set to mousses, creams, fillings, 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 180 Bloom Means For You

Bloom measures gel strength, and at 180 this is a moderate bloom grade that gives a balanced set. It is the firmest of the three bone gelatin blooms offered here, providing enough body to hold structure in fillings and set desserts while still keeping a tender, melting character rather than a hard gel.


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
  • Fillings and dessert layers
  • Panna cotta and custards
  • Set jellies
  • Aspics and savory set dishes
  • Stabilizing whipped and aerated desserts

Why Buyers Choose It

At 180 bloom this bovine bone gelatin offers the most structure of the three bone grades here while staying tender, making it a balanced choice for fillings and set desserts that need reliable body. 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

What can I make with 180 bloom gelatin that lower blooms struggle with?
At 180 bloom this gelatin holds a bit more structure, so it handles fillings and set desserts that need to keep their shape better than a softer 150 or 165 would. It still stays tender rather than rigid, which makes it a balanced middle ground when you want body without a hard, bouncy gel.
Can I substitute this bone gelatin for hide based bovine gelatin of the same bloom?
Gelatins of the same bloom set to a similar firmness regardless of source, so a bone gelatin can generally stand in for a hide based one at the matching bloom. Minor differences in color or handling can appear, so a quick test in your actual formula confirms the swap works as expected.
Why does my finished gel sometimes turn out cloudy?
Cloudiness usually comes from undissolved particles, trapped air, or impurities rather than the gelatin grade itself. Letting a coarse grind soak fully, warming gently until completely dissolved, and straining the mixture before setting all help produce a cleaner, clearer gel.
Does gelatin expire, and how can I tell?
Dry gelatin powder is shelf stable for a long time when kept sealed and dry, though it can lose strength or pick up odors if exposed to humidity. Checking for off smells, clumping, or a weakened set, and confirming any best by date on the specification, helps judge whether a bag is still good.
Is a halal version of this bovine bone gelatin available?
A halal version of this product is offered alongside the standard SKU. Buyers who need halal product should request that version specifically when placing a wholesale order rather than the standard one.
