How to use it in catering
Designed for catering professionals, this single-portion dessert eliminates preparation times and the need for specialized pastry staff. Simply thaw the product for the necessary time before service. It can be plated minimalistically on a light-colored plate to enhance its dark color and realistic shape, or accompanied by a red berry coulis or a quenelle of vanilla ice cream to create chromatic and temperature contrasts.
Format and storage
The product is packaged in practical cartons containing 8 single portions of approximately 100 grams each. This solution facilitates storage and allows for rigorous food cost control, avoiding any kind of waste in the kitchen. Storage must take place at a constant negative temperature (-18°C) to keep the aesthetic and organoleptischen qualities of the dessert unaltered until consumption.
