What it is
This is a concentrated flavoring made from the oils of organic oranges. It captures the bright, zesty essence of fresh citrus in a liquid form.

The product is designed for ease of use and to deliver a true citrus note without the pulp or juice.
How people cook with it
Orange extract is a versatile ingredient that can elevate both sweet and savory recipes.
- Adding to baked goods

- Flavoring beverages
- Brightening sauces
A little goes a long way with this potent extract. When baking, it can be added to cake batters, cookie doughs, and muffin mixes to impart a distinct orange flavor. It is also excellent in frostings and glazes. For beverages, a few drops can transform simple syrups, cocktails, or even water into a refreshing citrus drink. In savory cooking, it can add a surprising brightness to marinades, dressings, and pan sauces for poultry or fish. Always start with a small amount and taste as you go to achieve your desired level of flavor.

Unlike orange juice or zest, this extract provides a much more concentrated and stable orange flavor. It does not add liquid or pulp to your recipes, ensuring the texture remains consistent. The pure extract offers a cleaner, more intense citrus taste than artificial flavorings, without any bitterness.
