      OUR FLAVOR OFFERINGS BY TYPE

      Super Strength Flavors ~ Also known as Candy Oils or Flavoring Oils

      "A little goes a long way!"

      Our most concentrated type of flavoring. These intense and exceptionally versatile flavors are all appropriate for the higher temperature demands of hard candy making but can also be used to flavor just about anything!

      LorAnn Super Strength Flavors and Essential Oils are 3X to 4X stronger than typical alcohol-based extracts.

      Use LorAnn Super Strength Flavors in:
      • Hard candy & confections such as cake pops, fudges, marshmallows, and brittles.
      • Most flavors are appropriate in chocolates
      • All baked goods such as cakes, cookies, muffins, frosting and fondant (use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per 1 cup butter or fat)

      We recommend the following safe handling tips:

      • Keep out of reach of children
      • Do not ingest super strength flavors undiluted
      • Wipe-up spills quickly as prolonged contact to countertops may cause damage
      • Avoid using plastic utensils and bowls
      • Avoid rising steam when making hard candy

      Special Note:  Our Cinnamon Oil, Hot Cinnamon Flavor, Jalepeno Flavor, and Hot Chili Oil can cause irritation and a burning sensation if the oils come in contact with skin, eyes or mucous membranes.  For contact with skin, wash area immediately with warm soapy water to remove oils.  For contact with eyes or mucous membranes, flush with cool water.  Seek medical attention if burning sensation persists.  

      LorAnn Compounded Naturals

      'LorAnn Naturals' are concentrated, compounded flavors that are made with natural flavors, but are not essential oils. These flavorings are about half as potent as our traditional line of super strength flavorings.

      LorAnn Naturals are about 2X stronger than typical alcohol-based extracts.

      Use LorAnn Naturals Flavorings in:
      • Soft candies such as taffy, caramels, fudge, gummies and other confections (not recommended for use in hard candies or chocolates)
      • All baked goods
      • Ice cream & frozen dairy
      Our Super Strength "LorAnn Naturals" Flavors are:
      • Gluten free
      • Concentrated
      • Kosher certified (except Creamy Caramel and Toffee)
      • Free of nut and dairy allergens  

      Bakery Emulsions

      Bakery emulsions are water-based alternatives to baking extracts. When it comes to flavoring, professional bakers almost exclusively use emulsions over alcohol-based extracts. The flavors are more robust and will not "bake-out" when exposed to heat. Our Bakery Emulsions offer superior results at a great value.

      Lorann Bakery Emulsions are equivalent in strength to baking extracts. 1 teaspoon emulsion = 1 teaspoon extract

      Use LorAnn Bakery Emulsions in:
      • Baked goods such as cookies, cakes, muffins, brownies and sweet breads
      • Frostings and glazes
      Our Bakery Emulsion Flavors are:
      • Gluten free
      • Most are Kosher certified
      • Free of nut and dairy allergens (except Cream Cheese, which contains dairy)

      Vanilla Extracts

      Our vanilla extracts are made from premium ingredients and are comparable to other high-end vanilla extract brands, but at a typically lower price point.

      Use LorAnn Vanillas in:
      • All your baked goods
      • Frostings and glazes
      • Confections
      • Ice cream and beverages

      Although it is not required in the U. S., a "best by" date must be present on our bottles to comply with import regulations of many other countries. This date can be found on the safety seal of 1-dram bottles, and on the label of larger sizes. We recommend storing flavors with the caps tightly closed and in a cool, dark place. Sunlight and heat can degrade the essential oils and flavorings. If stored properly, most flavors should last several years. Citrus oils degrade more quickly, but can be refrigerated to extend shelf life. If your essential oils or flavors look cloudy, have an off smell or lose their intense aroma, it’s time to buy new.
