 As featured in the Holdiay Gift Guide, epicurious.com: "Making Thai curry at home usually involves pounding hard-to-find ingredients in a mortar, or struggling to make something edible from pallid premade pastes. Nittaya changes everything. The finest brand we've found, Nittaya's paste produces intensely delicious curries without the effort."
Nittaya brand Thai curry paste is a top quality vacuum-packed fresh paste made in the heart of old Bangkok and flown directly into the USA. Because curry paste is the foundation of Thai curry, a good Thai curry depends upon a paste with a good balance of herbs and spices. The recipes used by Nittaya have been handed down through the generations and do not compromise on ingredient quality.
According to a recent New York Magazine article "once you try the potent fresh curry pastes .... (in red, green, massaman and jungle varieties), you'll never go back to the jarred stuff. "

HOW TO STORE NITTAYA FRESH CURRY PASTES: These vacuum packed curry pastes may be stored up to one year, unopened, at cool room temperature. Once opened, tightly sealed, the pastes can be stored for up to 6 months refrigerated. Freeze the pastes for the longest time storage of up to 2 years.
To freeze, we recommend portioning into 1 tablespoon mounds on wax paper, freezing until firm and then put the frozen mounds into a freezer bag for easier use - just take out what you need and add frozen to your dish, bring to a boil or heat through in stir fries.
