What forms of caramel ingredients are available at OliveNation?

• Chips, Bits, Toppings: Our range of caramel inclusions includes bake stable pieces and caramel-flavored toppings. Bake-safe bits and chips are perfect for mixing into batters and will maintain shape during baking, leaving creamy pops of caramel for textural interest and flavor in cakes, cookies, and bars. Heat safe inclusions can also be used as toppings for beverages, frozen desserts, and as edible decoration on baked goods.
• Liquid Flavorings: Extracts, Emulsions, Oils, and Flavors blend easily into beverages, syrups, ice creams, and confectionery. Perfect for commercial applications, liquid flavorings offer maximum consistency and flavor stability at scale. Alcohol-based extracts are ideal for flavoring batters for cakes, fillings, and sauces, while emulsions leave stronger after-bake flavor and no alcohol aftertaste in no-bake applications like frosting, frozen dairy, and beverages. Concentrated extracts and oils are the go-to ingredient for use in confections and for flavoring chocolates. Specialty TTB-approved formulations are a must for professional brewery and distillery operations.
• Powders: Caramel flavored powders are long-lasting, shelf stable ingredients that are perfect for use in dry mixes, beverages, fillings, and frozen dairy. Powdered formulations offer superior measurability and workability, making them ideal for manufacturing operations as well as for use in bakery, foodservice, creamery, and catering applications. Flavor powder can also be used as a decadent finishing sprinkle for baked goods and snacks.
• Bulk Caramel: Sometimes real caramel is the only choice, as in fillings, certain frozen dairy applications, and many sweet or even savory sauces and finishing drizzles. However, making homemade caramel can be tricky, not to mention messy. Purchasing premade caramel in bulk gives bakers, chocolatiers, and chefs the ability to create consistent taste and color across products at any scale.
