Frequently Asked Questions

What does violet flavouring taste like?

Violet has a sweet, floral flavour reminiscent of the violet flower, with a slightly perfumed quality. It pairs beautifully with chocolate, vanilla and lemon. A little goes a long way, so start with a few drops.

Is oil-based essence better than water-based for baking?

Oil-based flavourings are bake-stable, meaning they retain their flavour at high temperatures. Water-based extracts can evaporate during baking, so oil-based essences are preferred for cakes and hot applications.
