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!

Absolutely solid. I use this it make strawberry swirl banana bread and you can taste and smell the strawberry. I've tried powered strawberries before but flavor is very subtle. This has a noticable and distinct flavor without tasting artificial.Mix part of the the banana bread batter with a table spoon and then layer in into the rest of the pan with the normal batter. Swirl with a chopsticks and bake. So delicious.

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.

This Pistachio oil has an amazingly strong & authentic flavor. It tastes like fresh, unsalted nuts and can be used to add flavor to baked goods, ice cream or candy. Put a few drops in a 1/4 cup of melted butter & add some maple syrup to sweeten a bit, then pour over hot popcorn. Add a little salt for absolutely delicious Pistachio Popcorn! I'll be making Pistachio biscuits next.

This is a great product for it's powerful coffee flavor. I didn't find any mention, on the bottle or on the product web page about caffeine content. All I can say is that I was making a protein shake in the evenings and adding this extract to make it a delicious mocha treat. It took me about a week to suspect that this extract is caffeinated as I was wired until late in the nigh, every night. I still love this extract and will reorder it. I just won't be adding it to any thing I consume in the evenings. I've not tried baking with it yet.

I bought this to make a healthier coffee creamer and it’s so good! I’ve tried it just in the coffee and the flavor is very strong. Does not have a bad after taste. The little bottle will last me a really long time.Not sure how it does in baking yet but I’m excited to try it this fall!
