Lorann's concentrated essential oils and flavorings have been an integral part of American candy and confectionery making for over 44 years - for both the professional and the "home chef". LorAnn's flavourings are specially formulated for optimal results in hard candies, chocolates, fudges, frostings, baking and specialty confections.
WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OIL?
Essential oils are the highly concentrated, volatile, aromatic essences of plants. Most are derived by the steam distillation of fresh herbal materials, or through cold expression. Many essential oils, such as peppermint, spearmint, lemon, lime, anise, and orange are appreciated both for their aromatic qualities and as flavourings. As flavourings, these highly concentrated oils are ideal for hard candy crafting, baking and other high-temperature cooking applications. *Please note that LorAnn's Cinnamon, Clove and Peppermint flavours are particularly potent. You may wish to reduce the amount used for these flavors.
HOW LORANN FLAVOURINGS COMPARE TO EXTRACTS?
You can use any one of LorAnn’s concentrated flavourings in place of an extract – but you don’t need to use as much! Unlike traditional extracts which are alcohol-based, LorAnn flavourings contain little or no alcohol. Generally, a LorAnn flavour is three times the strength of most extracts and will handle the heat in cooking and baking better. The natural essential oils (such as peppermint, anise, spearmint, lemon, etc.) and cinnamon oil are the most potent…so a little bit goes a long way.
