Paste

Brazil nut paste is a dense oil-bound grind for concentrated flavour in fillings and dairy-free cheeses. Light roast before milling deepens aroma; rawer grinds stay paler. Loosen stiff paste with warm liquid before batters so it does not seize. Refrigerate or freeze—high oil stales into paint notes sugar cannot hide. Selenium still matters when paste disappears into sweets. Quality smells clean and creamy. Tree-nut allergen.
