Description
Matisse High Concentrate 50% Apricot Glaze is a premium, professional-grade nappage designed for pastry chefs who require maximum control over consistency and cost. Unlike ready-to-use versions, this high-concentrate formula is designed to be diluted with water or fruit juice, allowing for a customized thickness and a higher yield per pail. It provides a classic, tart-sweet apricot flavor and a brilliant, long-lasting mirror shine that enhances the visual appeal of fine pastries.
