Strawberry Food Products and Strawberry-Flavored Baking Ingredients

Strawberry is one of the most popular food flavorings, falling behind only vanilla and chocolate as far as worldwide popularity goes. This versatile berry is generally associated with summertime flavor profiles, and is a key ingredient in many classic dessert recipes. Strawberry flavor, however, is also a great choice for many savory dishes, and is used in everything from rich, jammy sauces and drizzles to light, bright vinaigrettes and salad dressings. OliveNation offers a wide selection of strawberry-based cooking and baking ingredients, all available in a range of sizes for home or professional, commercial use. From moist, tender dehydrated fruits to liquid extracts and flavorings to dried powders and ready-to-use creams and purees, our top quality strawberry ingredients are sure to add delicious taste, aroma, and sometimes color to recipes for any occasion.

FAQs about Strawberry Ingredients, Extracts, and Flavorings

What is the difference between OliveNation Strawberry Extract and OliveNation Strawberry Flavor?

Our strawberry extract is red-colored, made using the concentrated juice and flavors or real strawberries, and has an alcohol base with glycerin, making it ideal for baking. Our strawberry flavor for brewing is clear, made from natural flavor compounds, and has a PG base. Both flavorings are water-soluble, but our strawberry flavor has been pre-approved by the TTB for use in creating alcoholic beverages.

What is the difference between OliveNation's Strawberry Extract and Strawberry Fountain Flavor?

Our strawberry extract is alcohol-based and made using real strawberry ingredients, making it ideal for high temperature baking applications as the alcohol will evaporate, leaving only the flavor and aroma behind in the final product. Our strawberry fountain flavor uses a non-alcohol base that makes it perfect for use in ice cream, beverages, and other low or no temperature applications.

How are Water Soluble and Oil Soluble Strawberry Flavorings used?

In general, water soluble flavorings are best for baking and beverage applications, while oil soluble flavorings are recommended for candy-making and chocolate work, as they will not cause chocolates to seize. However, many of our water soluble flavorings feature concentrated formulations that require proportionally smaller amounts to be used, allowing them to be used in institutional or commercial applications where mix volumes are higher.

How do you substitute Strawberry Extracts and Flavors in recipes?

You can substitute Strawberry Extracts and Flavors 1:1 in recipes calling for other types of extracts.
