LorAnn Oils Orange Bakery Emulsion: True Essence, Ideal for Boosting Fruit Tones in Cakes, Cookies & Desserts, Gluten-Free, Keto-Friendly, Extract Substitute Essential for Your Kitchen, 4 Oz

I just took up baking and decorating cut cookies. This butter emulsion smells and tastes so good. The almond emulsion is really good too!

I bought this brown butter emulsion after seeing a TikTok creator use it for a Café-style brown butter coffee, and I’m so glad I tried it! It adds such a rich, warm flavor and really elevates my coffee. A little goes a long way, and I’ve even started making a simple syrup with it so I can use it regularly. It turns out amazing every time! If you enjoy trying fun coffee recipes at home, this is definitely worth it. Love it!

PROS: strong flavor boost on my non-baked goods; generous volume; great value CONS: Less is more: don't overuse -- you get an artificial taste when you do

This taste delicious, but you must be a patient person because it took a long time to get here. :) It was worth it though.

This is one of the best emulsions. It smells amazing. I use it in baking cookies and in the icing too. I like that it is a large bottle that goes a long way.

Excellent product. Cannot distinguish a difference between it and orange zest, fresh or dried. Used it in my simple BOP fruit salad of 3 or 4 bananas, a can of Walmart brand mandarin oranges with the juice, & a can of Dole Tidbit Pineapples with the juice. Hint: Great Value Mandarin Oranges are better than the name brand … larger, plumper, still whole, and not falling apart. To the salad, I only added 1/4 teaspoon of orange emulsion. And Wallah! It elevated the taste as if I had added a fresh zested orange. Culinary experts say (1) Emulsions can be used in place of extracts at a ratio of 1 to 1, (2) One orange will produce about 2-3 tablespoons of zest, and (3) Regarding citrus type emulsions, such as orange or lemon, that 1 teaspoon of emulsion equals 1 tablespoon of dried peel or 2-3 tablespoons of freshly grated peel. Since I wanted the equivalent of the zest from one orange, if I had followed the culinary advice, I would have added 1 teaspoon of the orange emulsion which I believe would have been too much. Instead, the 1/4 teaspoon was perfect, as if I had used a fresh orange. No chemical or artificial taste whatsoever. [ In all fairness, the above advised ratios were for baking, and the heat may significantly reduce the intensity of the taste. ] My point is, if not sure of how much to use for things like salads, dressings, etc, go very light in the beginning. You can always add more later. I will find out soon, as next I plan to make John Kanell’s recipe for Cranberry Orange Muffins. Instead of the zest of 1 orange, I will use 1 tsp orange emulsion. It also calls for fresh or frozen cranberries, which I don’t have. But no matter, I do have dried cranberries that can be used in its place, by first soaking them in water to plump them up a bit, then drain well before adding to the recipe. Well, I went around the world so to speak, or the kitchen, to say I am very happy with this product!

somehow the cheapest hazelnut flavoring/extract I could find, yet the best tasting. Incredibly powerful, so much so I thought it was horrible quality until I realised I just had to put less. Can be overpowering, so jut use a drop and go from there.

Used this to make my buttercream taste more like cream cheese frosting without having to sacrifice the stability of the frosting. The flavoring does have a slight weird wang to it, but the cream cheese flavor is not too bad considering there's no real cream cheese being used. I would definitely use it again if necessary, but I don't think it can be expected to fully substitute for cream cheese, obviously. Overall, not a bad purchase, and not a bad price.
