MACAROON PASTE is simply a blend of almonds and apricot kernels prepared in precisely the same way as the other pastes. The flavor profile is between the two; a somewhat smooth almond flavor with just a hint of the bitter almond notes. It is widely used in many innovative and traditional bakery products. Our No-Sugar-Added Macaroon Paste retains all the flavor of the original but is formulated especially for use in sugar-free recipes.
HAZELNUT PRALINE/PASTE is one of our most popular products. Praline paste is made from dry-roasted hazelnuts that are ground and blended with sugar to make a smooth, sweet paste just right for flavoring buttercream icings, puddings, ice creams and velvety fudges.
ALMOND PASTE is characterized as having a sweet and balanced almond flavor. American Almond brand Almond Paste is prepared from select grades of almonds grown in California. After blanching, the almonds are ground and then cooked with pure granulated cane sugar to a smooth paste.
