Tips for this flavour
- Dosing start: 2–5% standalone; 0.5–2.5% as an accent. Higher % can turn doughy/marzipan-heavy.
- Pistachio gelato: layer with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream or Vanilla Bean Gelato and 0.25–0.5% marshmallow.
- Baklava/praline: add honey/syrup, Brown Sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.
- Chocolate & coffee: pair with Cocoa Rounds/DX Milk Chocolate and espresso/RY4.
- Bakery/crumb: 0.1–0.3% Acetyl Pyrazine or Graham Cracker for biscuit realism.
- Smoother, less “doughy”: reduce %, round with vanilla/creams and allow a rest.
- Steeping: 7–14 days—nut and cream meld and smooth.

Use the lower range, round with creams/vanilla and give it 7–14 days to settle.
Good for ice-cream and pastries?
Yes—great in gelato, biscotti, cakes and pralines.
Does it work in tobaccos?
At low % it adds a classy nutty depth to RY4 or lighter tobaccos.
PG-carried and must be diluted?
