What is Aspic?
Aspic is a type of savory jelly typically made from clarified meat stock that is gelatinized. It is traditionally used to encase meats, fish, or vegetables, creating a decorative and flavorful presentation. The gelatin in aspic is derived from animal collagen, making it unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans. Aspic has been used in European cuisine for centuries and is known for its ability to preserve and enhance the flavors of the ingredients it encases.
