The ideal frame for small production batches
The Mini 24.5 × 24.5 cm ganache frame is designed for chocolatiers and pastry chefs who want to produce small batches while maintaining the same level of precision as larger ganache frames.
Manufactured in France in our workshop, it is precision-machined from food-grade HDPE, a material appreciated for its light weight, strength and ease of cleaning.
Available in thicknesses from 2 to 20 mm, it is ideal for producing ganache, praline and chocolate preparations at moderate temperatures.
Its external dimensions of 27.5 × 27.5 cm provide excellent rigidity while remaining perfectly suited to 24 cm chocolate guitars.
An optional divider is available.
Why choose this size?
The 24.5 × 24.5 cm internal size has been specifically designed for 24 cm chocolate guitars.
Like all 2iso ganache frames, this slight oversize is intentional. When removing the frame, a small amount of product is always lost as the knife passes between the frame and the preparation. This extra margin ensures that every cutting wire passes completely through the ganache, producing uniform chocolates while minimising waste.
This format is particularly suitable for:
- Small production batches
- Product demonstrations
- Training centres
- Pastry and chocolate schools
- Apprentice chocolatiers and pastry chefs
