FAQ

How should I store this praline paste? Store in a cool, dry place. After opening, ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and keep it away from strong odors.

Do I need to refrigerate it after opening? Refrigeration is not strictly required if stored in a cool environment, but it can help extend shelf life in warmer kitchens. Always stir before use.

Is this paste smooth or crunchy? This is a smooth praline paste, refined to a fine consistency that blends easily into creams and smooth fillings.

Can this be used directly as a spread? Yes, it can be used as a premium spread, though it is primarily formulated as a concentrated ingredient for baking and confectionery.

Is this product suitable for vegan recipes? Based on the ingredients of hazelnuts and sugar, it is often used in vegan baking; however, always check for cross-contamination notes if serving those with strict allergies.

Does the oil separate on top? Like all-natural nut products, some oil separation is normal. Simply stir the paste until it reaches a uniform consistency before adding to your recipe.
