FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does the color of the chips vary from jar to jar?
- The brown-orange color variations are natural and related to the ripeness of the apricots used for the puree concentrate. They have no impact on the taste or quality of the product — it is a sign of authenticity of an ingredient without artificial coloring.
- What is the difference with other larger-sized Sosa crispys?
- The 1-4 mm size of the apricot crispy is finer than the 2-10 mm crispys of raspberry, pineapple, or cherry. It is especially suitable for precise decorations, fine coatings, and inclusions in smooth-textured chocolate preparations.
- Can I use it in a cream, ganache, or dessert insert?
- No, this product is not wet-proof. When exposed to moisture, the granules soften quickly. Use exclusively for dry surface decoration or inclusion in chocolate masses.
- What storage temperature is recommended?
- Between 15 and 20 °C, which is stricter than most Sosa freeze-dried products (usually 15-25 °C). This requirement must be followed to preserve the crunchy texture and optimal taste of the product, especially after opening with silica packet.
