How to use
- Terravita confectionery creams (at the room temperature) depending on their type and composition, have a texture from compact, through semi-solid, to soft - spreadable.
- Depending on the application, their consistency can be modified (liquefied) by slightly heating.
- Creams of a soft texture are easy to handle and can be used to spread and fill wafers and cakes can be dispensed directly from the packaging.
- Other applications (as an addition to fillings and creamy masses) require gentle liquefaction at 40-45 ° C.
- The liquefaction on an industrial scale should be performed in isothermal water-jacketed tanks equipped with a stirrer and on a craft scale - using a water-bath, with water temperature not exceeding 55 ° C

Practical tips
A liquefied cream intended to combine with strongly chilled (up to 8 – 10oC) whipped cream (containing 30-36% fat) should have a temperature of 28-30 °C and should be added in small portions to prevent the aerated cream mass from flattening. The mass can be combined with the cream in amounts up to 25-35%, depending on the desired intensity of the taste and color. Before spreading or decorating cakes, the cream should be thoroughly blended into the cream mass until a homogeneous phase is obtained.

Recommended storage conditions of a packed form (carton box, plastic bucket): temperature 12-18 ° C, relative humidity RH <75%, in a dry, well- ventilated area, free from strong odors and direct sun light. Shelf life under the recommended conditions, in a factory-sealed package: from 8 to 12 months, depending on the cream type.
