Ideas for Extracts, Oils, and Flavorings
What’s the difference between an extract and oil?
- Extracts are concentrated flavorings that are diluted by alcohol or water. They’re good standbys to use for periodic baking and for recipes that you pull out of the back of the recipe box a couple times a year.
Peppermint extract flavoring, for example, is not only for peppermint candy, it is a great ice-cream topper and coffee flavoring. Add it to your next hot cup of cocoa and warm up all over with this minty chocolate favorite. Mix flavorings into your next batch of white or chocolate fudge, too!
- Oils are more highly concentrated than extracts. They’re considered to be 3 - 4 times more potent than extracts, which makes them very handy to have around if you’re doing a lot of cooking or baking. Since oils are so concentrated, you’ll use smaller amounts.
Our Banana, Strawberry and Peach oils are ready for your spring meringues and smoothies. You don’t have to keep actual fruits around, which removes spoilage issues.
