What is a pistachio filling cream?
A filling cream (farcitella) is a sweet, stable cream designed to fill and decorate baked goods without running or weeping. This one is built on sugar, vegetable oils, milk and 20% pistachio, giving a rich pistachio flavour and a smooth, pipeable texture. Unlike a fresh cream it is shelf-stable and ready to use straight from the bucket, which makes it ideal for high-volume pastry and viennoiserie.
Elenka, Palermo pastry specialist
Elenka, founded in Palermo in 1959, is an Italian specialist in semi-finished products for gelato and pastry, certified to ISO 22000. Its filling creams are formulated for professional laboratories that need consistent flavour, colour and texture batch after batch. The 8 kg bucket is the food-service format for bakeries, pastry shops and pizzerie-pasticcerie.
How to use it
Use straight from the bucket to fill croissants, krapfen, brioche, crepes, waffles and biscuits, or to layer and top cakes and tarts. It is bake-stable, so it can be piped in before baking as well as used cold for finishing. Warm it slightly for an easier pipe if needed. Pair with chocolate, vanilla or other nut creams for marbled and layered effects.
