Mio Pure Cashew Paste is a professional semi-finished product made from 100% cashew nuts, supplied in a 5 kg tin for gelato and pastry use. With a recommended dosage of 80-100 g per kg of mix, it adds a soft, buttery and lightly sweet note to ice cream, creams, mousses and fillings, with a natural ivory colour and a delicate aroma that does not mask other ingredients.
What pure cashew paste is
A pure nut paste is a semi-finished product obtained by roasting and grinding a single nut into a smooth, fluid cream, with no added sugar, oil or thickeners. Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) gives one of the mildest and most buttery profiles among nut pastes, sweeter and less astringent than almond and rounder than hazelnut. This makes it a refined, modern choice for laboratories looking for an alternative to the classic hazelnut and pistachio flavours.
The producer
This paste belongs to the Mio line created and distributed by Innovaction S.r.l., based in Ragusa, Sicily. Mio is a range of semi-finished products dedicated to pastry and gelato professionals, built around single-origin nut pastes, flavour pastes and finishing products. The cashew paste is made solely from the processing of the nut, keeping the raw material as the only protagonist.
Sensory profile
The paste has a fluid, velvety consistency and a natural ivory shade. On the palate it is buttery and mild, with a clean cashew aroma and a long, soft finish. Because it carries no added sugar, it lets the technician set the exact sweetness of the recipe and pairs cleanly with chocolate, caramel, citrus and spices.
Professional uses
In gelato making, use 80-100 g per kg of base mix for a cashew-flavoured gelato; the paste also works as a nut base to round off pistachio or hazelnut recipes and as the heart of spreadable creams. In pastry it goes into bavarian creams, semifreddo, ganache, mousses and praline fillings, and can flavour buttercreams and dessert sauces. Add it directly to the base mix or emulsify it into a warm cream for a smooth, lump-free result.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not add the paste to a boiling mix: emulsify it into a lukewarm cream or into the cold base to preserve aroma and texture. Do not exceed the dosage hoping for more flavour, as too much fat unbalances the structure of gelato. Always stir the tin before use, because a thin layer of natural nut oil can separate on the surface during storage.
