What is Isinglass?
Isinglass is a natural form of collagen obtained from the dried swim bladders of fish, particularly sturgeon. It is primarily used in the brewing and winemaking industries as a fining or clarifying agent to remove impurities and improve the clarity of the final product. Historically, isinglass has been valued for its efficiency in clarifying beverages without affecting the taste or aroma.
