How does this almond paste perform in laminated doughs and pastries?

Can I use the 7-pound tub for commercial production or catering?

The jumbo tub is tailored for commercial kitchens, bakeries, and caterers that require large, frequent batches. Packaging minimizes the need for repetitive mixing and keeps supply on-hand for bulk production, trimming labor time on high-volume orders.

What are the key ingredients and how do they affect use and storage?

The paste contains almonds, sugar, synthetic bitter almond oil, and potassium sorbate as a preservative. The ingredient mix provides a sweet almond profile, a hint of bitter-almond aroma for depth, and preservative support to help maintain quality once opened if stored properly.

• Almonds (67%): primary source of flavor and texture.
• Sugar: balances and stabilizes the paste.
• Synthetic bitter almond oil: adds characteristic marzipan aroma without raw-bitter notes.
• Potassium sorbate: helps inhibit spoilage for practical foodservice use.

How should I store and portion the almond paste to keep it fresh?

Keep the tub sealed and refrigerated after opening to preserve texture and flavor. Portion into smaller containers for daily use to limit repeated exposure to air and reduce the chance of drying or contamination.

• Refrigerate after opening; reseal lid tightly.
• Divide into loaf pans or airtight containers for frequent use.
• Label portions with date opened to manage rotation.
