Flavoring pastes are concentrated flavoring agents used in baking and pastry making. They provide an intense, consistent flavor, often more pronounced than extracts. They are typically thicker than extracts, allowing them to be easily incorporated into various recipes without significantly affecting the texture or consistency.
Flavoring pastes are typically made from fruits, nuts, or spices. They can be used to flavor a wide array of desserts, including cakes, cookies, ice cream, frostings, and fillings. They are a popular choice for professional bakers and pastry chefs due to their ease of use, intense flavor, and long shelf life.
