What is a "gold leaf"?
Gold leaf is a thin sheet of pure gold that is typically used as a decorative element in food and drink presentation. It is made by hammering gold into extremely thin sheets, often less than one micron thick. Gold leaf is prized for its shimmering appearance and luxurious aesthetic, making it a popular choice for adding a touch of elegance to desserts, pastries, chocolates, and beverages. It is edible and safe for consumption, although it is primarily used as a decorative garnish and is not intended to add flavor or texture to food.
