Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference compared to a liquid flavor?
The pasty texture offers better baking stability and more even distribution. The aromatic intensity is higher thanks to the 25% real fruit, requiring less dosage.
Can it be used in chocolate ganache?
Perfectly. Incorporate 3-4% of the total ganache weight after full emulsification. The acidity of passion fruit pairs especially well with white and milk chocolate.
Is the natural color maintained?
Yes, natural colorants (beta-carotene and curcumin) reproduce the yellow-orange hue characteristic of passion fruit, giving an authentic look to your creations.
How many batches can be made with a 360g jar?
About 12-18 batches of 500g depending on dosage (2-6%). An excellent value for regular use.
Is the natural acidity of the fruit preserved?
Absolutely. Citric acid (E330) enhances the natural tart notes of passion fruit, creating that characteristic sweet-tart balance.
