Whole Shelled Almonds with Skin 1 kg PAV

What it is

Whole shelled almonds with their natural skin, supplied in a 1 kg pack under the PAV name. The skin gives the almonds a deeper colour and a more pronounced nutty character than blanched almonds.

Product and format

The 1 kg pack is practical for professional kitchens, pastry work and regular mise en place. The almonds are supplied whole, so the chef can use them as they are or prepare the cut required by the recipe.

Organoleptic profile

Expect a firm, crunchy bite, a rounded almond flavour and a slight bitterness from the skin. The product works in both sweet and savoury preparations, where it adds texture as well as a toasted nut note.

Professional uses and portions

Use whole, chopped or sliced almonds for cakes, biscuits, pralines, desserts, salads and savoury fillings. As a starting point, 10–15 g per plated portion is suitable for a garnish; adjust the dose to the recipe and desired crunch.

Mistakes to avoid

Do not treat them as blanched almonds when a pale colour is required. Avoid excessive heat, which can make the skin bitter, and keep the nuts away from moisture so they remain crisp.

Storage

Store the sealed pack in a cool, dry place away from light and strong aromas. After opening, close it carefully or transfer the almonds to an airtight food container.
