• Rich creams (buttercream, ganache): 3-4% of total weight
• Ice creams and sorbets: 4-5% of the liquid base

Baked preparations:

• High temperature (>200°C): 4-5% of the paste weight

Concrete examples:

• Buttercream 500g: 15-20g of flavoring paste

Incorporation method

1. Stir the jar well before use to distribute the vanilla seeds
2. Add at the end of preparation after mixing the main ingredients
