What is Frutto Somalo paste
Elenka's Frutto Somalo is a highly concentrated professional flavoring paste designed specifically for artisanal gelato and pastry making. Despite the suggestive name, it is a preparation with an intense and enveloping banana flavor. Thanks to its recipe including real banana, sugar, and glucose, this paste faithfully reproduces the sweet and creamy taste of fresh fruit, preventing oxidation and ensuring optimal flavor preservation in the finished product.
The manufacturer: Elenka's experience
Produced by Elenka, a leading Italian company in semi-finished products for gelato and pastry based in Sicily, this paste represents decades of the brand's experience. Elenka is internationally renowned for its rigorous selection of raw materials and production processes that preserve the aromatic characteristics of the ingredients. Choosing an Elenka product means relying on an excellent quality standard.
Characteristics and yield
One of the most appreciated features of the Frutto Somalo paste is its extraordinary concentration, which translates into an excellent yield. The recommended dosage is only 40 grams of product for each liter of base mix. This low impact on the total weight allows you to quickly amortize the product's cost, while offering a strong and persistent flavor that does not fade during processing.
How to use in professional pastry
In addition to being a pillar for churning classic artisanal banana gelato, Frutto Somalo paste is extremely versatile in pastry making. It can be used to flavor pastry creams, chantilly, mousses, bavarois, and semifreddo. It is also ideal for flavoring plum cake or muffin batter. Professionals successfully use it in the preparation of glazes or fillings for modern cakes and macarons.
Format and storage
The product is packaged in a practical and durable 1 kg tin can, an ideal format that ensures easy handling and daily storage. For larger volumes, it is available in a 10 kg box. To best preserve its organoleptic characteristics, it is recommended to keep the packaging tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and heat sources.
