Pasteurized Baerii

Heat-pasteurized Baerii for extended shelf life. Slightly firmer and less nuanced than fresh, with the subtle nuttiness muted — but practical for cooking applications, canapé spreads, and situations where cold-chain reliability is a concern.

Sturdier texture suits canapés and garnishing more than a solo tasting. A practical service choice where storage is a constraint.
