Green pistachio paste 200 g

Green pistachio paste for sophisticated patisserie

This green pistachio paste is a high-quality ingredient for all discerning confectioners and amateur bakers. With a pistachio content of 50%, it offers an authentic taste and an intense green color that instantly enhances your sweet creations. It is much more than just a flavoring - it serves as a true base ingredient for patisserie recipes, while providing intense flavor and a professional appearance. Pistachio paste can be used in a variety of patisserie recipes. It is ideal for flavoring a crème mousseline for pistachio macarons, refining an insert in a raspberry-pistachio entremet or making a homemade pistachio ice cream with a round, natural taste. Just a few spoonfuls are enough to transform a simple cake into a sophisticated dessert. Stirred into financiers, crème diplomat or a whipped white chocolate ganache, it always reveals its fine, lightly roasted yet mild pistachio notes - perfect for the finest praline creations. 

Difference between pistachio paste and pistachio praliné

In contrast to a pistachio praliné, which contains caramelized sugar and therefore develops more roasted flavours, this pistachio paste retains a fresher and more delicate flavour profile. Pistachio praliné is particularly suitable for crunchy layers or crunch inserts, while a pure pistachio paste is ideal for creams, mousses and pastry masses where the subtle note of pistachio should be in the foreground without dominant caramel flavors. Both products complement each other perfectly and can even be combined in the same dessert to play with different textures and flavors.

Dosing the pistachio paste in the patisserie

For the dosage, calculate around 30 to 50 g of pistachio paste per liter of crème anglaise for an entremet or 15 to 20 g to flavor a ganache. For macaron shells, you can work a teaspoon of pistachio paste directly into the Italian meringue to obtain an intense flavor without weighing down the mixture. Make sure to homogenize the mixture well so that the color is evenly distributed.

Storing the pistachio paste

Once opened, the pistachio paste should be stored in a cool place. It will then retain its full intensity for around 30 days. The 200 g format is ideal for both homemade patisserie batches and smaller professional productions.
