Description

Cotton twine is a type of thin and sturdy rope made from natural cotton fibers. This twine is widely used in the kitchen to tie meats, poultry, or food parcels before cooking, ensuring they maintain their shape and cook evenly. Thanks to its 100% natural composition, it is suitable for withstanding high temperatures without releasing harmful substances, making it the preferred choice for culinary trussing.

Cotton twine originates from the traditional craft of rope and cord making, having been used since ancient times in various cultures, especially in European and Latin American cuisine. Its use in gastronomy is well-established because it is a safe, biodegradable, and easy-to-handle material.

Among its properties, its tensile strength, its ability to withstand heat and moisture, and its lack of flavors or aromas that could alter the food stand out. Furthermore, being a natural product, it is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

In different Latin American countries, cotton twine may also be known as cotton thread, cotton kitchen string, or simply tying twine. In the culinary context, it is essential for techniques such as trussing chickens, making artisanal sausages, and other preparations that require ingredients to hold their shape during cooking.
