Storage and Handling
Store in a cool, dry place protected from direct light. Katingos® indicates approximately 6 months of pantry storage and up to 8 months under refrigeration, recommending refrigeration when ambient temperatures exceed 30 °C. Refrigeration naturally produces a firmer consistency. Due to its high almond content, natural oil separation may occur; stir thoroughly before use to restore a homogeneous consistency.
Quality and Selection Criteria
Dense and homogeneous consistency after stirring, with a clean roasted-almond and vanilla aroma. Color may naturally vary from beige to brown according to the degree of almond roasting. Natural oil separation during storage is characteristic of the product and does not by itself indicate spoilage. Product should remain free from rancid, fermented or abnormal odors and flavors, and the container should remain properly sealed to prevent moisture and contamination.
