Extracts and Essences

Baking Extracts and Essences – Vanilla, Almond, Lemon and Flavourings:

Baking extracts and essences are concentrated flavourings used to add distinctive tastes to cakes, biscuits, desserts, icings and confectionery. The Smartfox NZ collection features Queen baking extracts and flavour essences, including vanilla, almond, lemon, orange, peppermint and rum flavouring. Choose from natural extracts, organic vanilla, vanilla extract with seeds and imitation vanilla essence in sizes suited to occasional home baking or larger-scale food preparation.

Vanilla Extracts and Essences:

Vanilla is the main flavour represented in this collection, with several Queen formulations to suit different recipes.

Queen Natural Vanilla Extract with Seeds comes in 50ml and 500ml bottles. The visible vanilla seeds make it particularly appealing for desserts where the appearance of vanilla is desirable.

Queen Organic Vanilla Extract is also represented in 50ml and 500ml sizes.

For recipes calling for vanilla essence, the collection includes Queen Vanilla Flavoured Essence and Imitation Vanilla Essence in 500ml and 2L formats.

Natural Lemon and Orange Extracts:

The citrus selection includes Queen Professional Natural Lemon Extract and Natural Orange Extract in 500ml bottles.

Lemon extract provides citrus flavour for cakes, biscuits, icings and desserts, while orange extract offers an alternative for recipes requiring orange flavour.

These concentrated flavourings are useful when a recipe calls for citrus extract rather than fresh juice or zest.

Almond and Peppermint Extracts:

Queen Professional Natural Almond Extract and Natural Peppermint Extract are represented in 500ml bottles.

Almond extract is suited to almond-flavoured cakes, biscuits and sweet baking. Peppermint extract provides a mint flavour for chocolate desserts, confectionery, icings and other sweet recipes.

Both offer distinctive alternatives to conventional vanilla flavouring.

Rum Flavour Essence:

The collection also includes Queen Professional Natural Rum Flavour Essence in a 500ml bottle.

This specialised baking flavouring can be used in suitable desserts and sweet recipes where a rum-style flavour is desired. Check the product ingredients and recommended usage before incorporating it into a recipe.

Choosing the Right Baking Extract or Essence:

When comparing baking flavourings, consider the flavour required, concentration, ingredients and bottle size.

Natural extracts, imitation essences and flavoured essences are different formulations and may not be interchangeable in equal quantities.

Smaller 50ml vanilla bottles suit occasional home baking, while 500ml professional flavourings and 2L imitation vanilla essence provide larger quantities for frequent use.

Check individual product information for ingredients, flavour concentration and recommended measurements to ensure the extract or essence suits your recipe.
