Dessert Jars are specialized glass containers designed for the professional presentation and serving of portioned desserts. These containers combine functionality with aesthetics, meeting the demands of modern gastronomy regarding hygiene, durability, and the visual appeal of served dishes. In the HoReCa segment, dessert jars serve a dual purpose — they function both as transport packaging and as elegant vessels for direct serving.
The construction of dessert jars is based on lead-free glass with a minimum thickness of 2–3 mm, ensuring resistance to temperature fluctuations from -20°C to +80°C. Standard capacities are 0.08 L, 0.14 L, 0.16 L, and 0.58 L, corresponding to dessert portions in line with nutritional standards. The base dimensions of 5.5 x 5.5 cm with a height of 9 cm provide optimal presentation of the contents while maintaining stability during transport and storage.
In professional gastronomy, dessert jars are used for serving mousses, panna cotta, tiramisu, creams, parfaits, and layered desserts. Airtight lids with silicone gaskets enable storage at refrigeration temperatures for up to 72 hours without loss of organoleptic qualities. The tulip shape in premium models enhances visual presentation, especially for desserts with decorative elements.

Renowned brands such as Weck guarantee dimensional consistency, which is important for portion standardization.
In practical gastronomy, it is recommended to maintain a stock of jars amounting to 150% of daily demand, taking into account washing and disinfection time. Proper storage in an upright position on stainless steel shelves prevents mechanical damage, while labeling with the production date facilitates FIFO rotation in warehouse processes.
