MIO Tiramisu Paste 1 kg: standardised tiramisu flavour for professionals
MIO Tiramisu Paste is a professional concentrated semi-finished product with tiramisu flavour, based on Marsala wine, coffee extract and whole egg, supplied in a 1 kg metal tin. The recommended dosage is 100 g per litre of mix, delivering an intense and balanced aroma for artisanal gelato, fillings, bavarian creams and pastry preparations. Ready to use, stored at room temperature, it gives gelato makers and pastry chefs the unmistakable taste of Italy's most beloved spoon dessert with consistent results in every batch.
What tiramisu is and where it comes from
Tiramisu is the most famous Italian spoon dessert, built around mascarpone, savoiardi ladyfingers soaked in espresso coffee and a dusting of bitter cocoa. Its documented origin is in Treviso, Veneto, between the late 1960s and early 1970s, at the Le Beccherie restaurant, where pastry chef Roberto Linguanotto and Alba Campeol created the recipe as an energy-restoring dessert. In 2017 the Treviso tiramisu was recognised as a Traditional Agri-Food Product (PAT) by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture. MIO Tiramisu Paste captures this aromatic profile and makes it available to laboratories in a stable, ready-to-use format.

Sensory profile
The paste has a warm amber colour from the natural vegetable colouring E 160a and a dense, smooth, fully soluble texture. On the palate it expresses the classic tiramisu register: the roundness of Marsala wine, the depth of coffee extract and the enveloping note of egg, with a balanced sweetness. The aroma stays intense and homogeneous from batch to batch, avoiding the variability of a from-scratch preparation.

Professional uses
In the gelato lab fold the paste cold into the white base at 100 g per litre of mix for a creamy tiramisu gelato with a bold flavour; pair it with a cocoa or coffee variegato and a savoiardi crumble. In pastry use it to flavour pastry creams, bavarian creams, semifreddi, mousses and cake fillings, dosing to taste. It is ideal for tiramisu-flavoured cups and verrines, for filling spoon-dessert glasses and for monoportions. Always combine with mascarpone-based creams to reinforce the authentic profile, and finish with bitter cocoa as per tradition.
Pairings
The tiramisu profile pairs naturally with mascarpone, fresh cream, savoiardi ladyfingers, espresso coffee and bitter cocoa. For gelato counters combine the tiramisu flavour with hazelnut, dark chocolate and coffee. LAPA supplies the complementary ingredients - mascarpone, savoiardi and bitter cocoa - to build the complete dessert.
