• How do I use the food flavourings?

  To use our food flavours, simply add a few drops to your recipe according to your desired level of flavour intensity. The number of drops you use will depend on the strength of the flavour you are using and your personal taste preferences. Keep in mind that our flavours are highly concentrated and should never be ingested directly. If you wish to taste a flavour before adding it to your recipe, you can add a drop to a spoonful of whipped cream, or add to some slightly sweetened water.

  When using our flavours in baking, it is recommended to add them to your dry ingredients or mix them into a liquid before adding them to your recipe. When using our flavours in drinks, you can add a few drops to your glass or bottle and then stir or shake to mix the flavour evenly.

  Always be sure to read the label and follow the recommended usage instructions for the specific flavour you are using.

• Can the food flavourings be used in baking?

  Yes, our food flavours can be used in baking. They are suitable for adding flavour to a variety of baked goods, such as cakes, cookies, breads, and pastries. It is recommended to add the flavours to your dry ingredients or mix them into a liquid before adding them to your recipe. A good starting point is 5-10 drops per 100 grams of ingredients, although this amount can be adjusted according to your personal taste preferences and the strength of the flavour you are using. Keep in mind that our flavourings are highly concentrated and a little goes a long way, so you may not need to use as much as you would with other types of flavourings. It is always a good idea to start with a small amount and gradually add more if needed, rather than adding too much and  ruining your recipe. Be sure to read the label and follow the recommended usage instructions for the specific flavour you are using.

• Do the food flavourings contain any allergens?

  Most of the food flavours we offer on our website do not contain allergens, although some may contain trace amounts of certain allergens such as nuts, dairy, soy, or gluten. To determine if a specific flavour contains allergens, it is important to check the ingredient list on the label of the product or under the "More Information" tab on the "Product Details" page. If you have a specific allergy or dietary restriction, it is important to read the label carefully and contact the manufacturer if you have any questions or concerns. It is also a good idea to test a small amount of the flavouring before using it in a recipe to make sure you do not have a reaction.

• How should I store the food flavourings?

  All of the food flavourings we carry are either artificial or a blend of natural and artificial flavours. Artificial food flavourings are created through chemical synthesis and are generally more economical and offer consistent flavours. Natural food flavourings are derived from plant or animal sources, such as herbs, spices, fruits, vegetables, and essential oils. Some people may prefer the taste of natural flavourings, while others may find artificial flavourings to be more convenient or cost-effective. Artificial flavourings are often used to create specific tastes or smells that cannot be achieved naturally.

• Are the food flavourings natural or artificial?

  It is generally best to store food flavourings in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This can help to preserve the strength and quality of the flavouring. Some food flavourings may be sensitive to temperature fluctuations and could break down or lose their flavour if stored in a place that is too warm or too cold.

  It is also a good idea to keep food flavourings out of reach of children and pets, as they can be highly concentrated and should not be ingested directly. Most food flavourings should be stored in their original packaging to help protect them from air and moisture. If you need to transfer the flavouring to a different container, be sure to use a clean, dry container with a tight-fitting lid to help prevent contamination or evaporation.

  If you are using food flavourings in a professional kitchen or bakery setting, it is important to follow all food safety guidelines and keep track of expiration dates. Some food flavourings may have a shelf life of several years, while others may have a shorter shelf life and should be used up more quickly. By properly storing and handling food flavourings, you can help to ensure that they maintain their quality and flavour for as long as possible.

• Can I use the food flavourings to flavour drinks as well as food?

  Yes, our food flavours can be used to flavour both drinks and food. They are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. For drinks, we recommend using 5-10 drops per 8 ounces of liquid, depending on the desired intensity of flavour. For food, we recommend using 5-10 drops per 100 grams of recipe, again depending on the desired intensity of flavour.

• Are the food flavourings suitable for use by vegans and vegetarians?

  Most of our food flavours are suitable for vegans and vegetarians, as they do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. However, it is important to check the ingredient list on the label of the product or under the "More Information" tab on the "Product Details" page to determine if a specific flavour is vegan or vegetarian. If you have any questions or concerns about the suitability of a specific flavour for a vegan or vegetarian diet, it is a good idea to contact the manufacturer for more information.

• How long do the food flavourings last?

  Food flavourings generally have shelf life of 1-3 years depending on the manufacturer, and if stored properly, they can last for several years. To extend the shelf life of your food flavourings, it's important to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the containers tightly sealed when not in use, and try to minimize the amount of air that comes into contact with the flavouring. If stored properly, most food flavourings will remain fresh and effective for several years. However, over time, the flavour and strength of the flavouring may begin to fade, so it's a good idea to rotate your stock and use the older flavours first.

• Are the flavours sugar-free or low-calorie?

  Yes! Most of the flavours we carry are unsweetened. There are a few that are sweetened with stevia or sucralose. This information will be under the "More Information" tab on the "Product Details" page as well as the product label.
