How to store nougat


How to store nougat

Torrone is a very old typical Italian dessert, mainly for Christmas. It is composed of egg white, honey, sugar and almonds which form the base common to all types with the possible addition of walnuts, peanuts, toasted hazelnuts and pistachios; it is often covered with two layers of host.

It would be preferable to consume the nougat, hard or soft, in the shortest possible time, but if this is not possible, we can keep it for some time. It goes preserved in an airtight container and placed in a cool (temperature around + 8 ° C) and dry place at a constant temperature, preferably a food storage. Its enemy is humidity, which must be avoided so that it does not lose consistency. In this way it can also be kept for several months.

Also, many ask me: but it is possible to freeze the nougat? If we have to keep the nougat for a long time, I recommend cutting it into pieces, placing it in freezer bags for food and then in the freezer. You must be careful to avoid condensation which would ruin the product. To defrost it, I recommend placing it first in the refrigerator for a few hours and then at room temperature, before consuming it.

How to preserve truffles – Creative in the kitchen – Gordon Ramsay’s version

How to preserve the truffle


How to preserve the truffleTo enjoy all the flavor of truffle it is always better to consume it fresh, but if this is not possible, I will now illustrate some of my simple tips to consume it at its best. Storage in the refrigerator or freezer is the most used to keep the qualities and characteristics of the truffle unaltered before adding it to a recipe.

■ Keep the truffle in the refrigerator

It is possible to keep the truffle in the fridge for several days and use it to create your recipes without losing its precious taste.

1. Remove dirt residues with a small brush.

2. Wrap it in a sheet of absorbent paper or a cotton cloth.

3. Close it in an airtight container.

4. Change the absorbent paper (or cotton cloth) every day.

Using this method, the white truffle can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The black truffle can last up to 8 days.

■ Storing the Truffle in the Freezer

If you want to keep the truffle for a longer period of time, I recommend that you freeze it.

1. Remove dirt residues with a small brush.

2. Wash the truffle under running water at room temperature, with the help of a soft bristle brush.

3. Dry the truffle very well with absorbent paper or cotton cloth.

4. Place it in the freezer in a freeze bag for food (better if vacuum-packed) or whole, ground or sliced.

5. Once taken out of the freezer (for use in your recipes), it is important to use it immediately.

Using this method, the truffle keeps pretty well for about 12 months. Of course I recommend that you always check it out.
