Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a 1L bottle of bulk essence last?

At a typical usage rate of 2–4ml per kg of product, a 1000ml bottle flavours approximately 250–500kg of cake batter, buttercream, or dough. For a commercial bakery producing 20kg of product per week, that equates to roughly 12–25 weeks of use. For a high-volume home baker producing one or two large batches per week, a single bottle can last a year or more — making the bulk format a highly cost-effective choice.

How should I store bulk oil-based essences?

Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and keep the bottle tightly sealed between uses. Do not refrigerate — temperature fluctuations and condensation can affect oil-based formulas. Properly stored, these essences have a shelf life of 2–3 years from manufacture. Give the bottle a gentle shake before use if it has been sitting for an extended period.
