Praline (nougat) pastes
Praline pastes consist of a maximum of 50 % of sugar and roasted, refined hazelnuts or almonds, either with or without addition of cocoa solids. Dark praline pastes contain cocoa mass and cocoa butter, light praline pastes contain cocoa butter only. The water content is practically nil. (Moisture and contact with water spoils the quality). No fats are added apart from cocoa butter.

Praline pastes are used for:
All kinds of finished products, similar to marzipan products, such as bars and cubes, especially in layers or rolled up with marzipan; also as a filling for chocolates, sweets and biscuits, and to add taste to butter cream, etc. Sometimes castor sugar is added as well.

As the more or less firm consistency of praline pastes is due to their cocoa butter content, they are sensitive to temperature changes, just like chocolate. Once melted, they have to be subjected to a special cooling procedure (called 'tempering') in order to regain their attractive, uniquely smooth texture.

Storage:
cool at max. 18° C, dark, dry
relative air humidity: max. 60 %
