So, what makes a marshmallow gourmet and how is it different from a ‘regular’ marshmallow?
A gourmet marshmallow is a highly flavorful marshmallow made in a small batch and developed with an eye on having it enjoyed by itself and not necessarily as an accompaniment to anything.
Marshmallow Memories
There are mass produced marshmallows that come in limited flavors and have a slightly chemical aftertaste and these differ from gourmet marshmallows in that there are no chemicals used in the actual development of a gourmet marshmallow so there’s no chemical aftertaste.

Small Batches
Making gourmet marshmallows in small batches ensures that every single marshmallow is checked to make sure they meet the high standards of the company.
Bold Flavors
There’s a sophisticated nuanced flavor that permeates every bite of the marshmallow and because you’re given the choice on what flavor you want to enjoy, it’s a flavor that means something to you and that will be thoroughly enjoyed.
How to Eat your Marshmallow
There’s a versatility to a gourmet marshmallow, you can certainly add it to a hot drink and have a flavored coffee or hot chocolate, but ultimately, it’s designed to be a stand-alone treat that can be enjoyed by itself.
Marshmallow Longevity
There’s nothing like eating a marshmallow right after it’s been cured and cut. But, just because the marshmallow is not made with any chemicals, that’s not to say that it doesn’t have a long shelf-life. All the ingredients in the marshmallow are shelf stable. You can pop a gourmet marshmallow into the freezer and it’ll last for up to 3 months, or you can keep it in an air-tight container and it will last for 4-6 weeks. It may get a tad firmer but it’s highly enjoyable long after it’s first made and cut.

Give Them a Try
So if you are or if you know someone who’s averse to trying a gourmet marshmallow simply because they don’t like them. Don’t let that stop you, remember they may just think they don’t like them based on an unfair stigma cultivated by mass produced marshmallows. Share a marshmallow with one of these friends and watch the light turn on their eyes and their minds change as they enjoy all the reasons a gourmet marshmallow is an optimal dessert choice.
