So, what is melting salt?

Melting salt, also known as sodium citrate, is a versatile food ingredient that is commonly used as a melting agent in cheese-based dishes. This fine white powder is derived from citric acid and is widely used in the food industry to enhance the texture and taste of various food products. When added to cheese, melting salt acts as an emulsifying agent, allowing the cheese to melt smoothly and evenly without becoming oily or stringy. Melting salt is also used in other applications, such as in meat products, where it can improve the texture and flavor. This highly functional ingredient is a must-have for chefs and food manufacturers looking to achieve consistent and high-quality results in their products.
