Shop Peach Ingredients and Peach-Flavored Baking Flavorings
Peaches are part of the stone fruit family (also known as drupes), named for the hard pit inside the fruit. These summer treats offer sweet, juicy flavor and are a key ingredient in a wide variety of dishes from traditional desserts to pastry fillings to frozen dairy to savory glazes and marinades. Peaches are so popular that they were the first fruit eaten in space by an astronaut!

FAQs about Peach Ingredients, Extracts, and Flavorings
What is Peach Powder?
Peach powder is made by freeze-drying fresh, ripe peaches then grinding them to a fine powdered texture. Freeze-dried peach powder not only has the taste and aroma of peaches, but the processing method retains all the nutritional benefits of this delicious fruit. Use peach powder instead of extract to control moisture and limit alcohol content.
What Does Peach Flavoring Contain?
Peach flavorings are made using natural flavors for true-to-ingredient taste and aroma. OliveNation offers a selection of peach flavorings, including an alcohol-based flavor extract for baking and cooking, a TTB-approved PG-based formulation designed for brewing and distilling, and a PG-and xanthan gum-based formulation with natural and artificial flavors that is ideal for low-temperature and no-heat applications like flavoring ice creams, beverages, and frozen dairy products.
Can You Use Dried Peaches for Tea?
Our dried peaches can be used for baking, snacking, making compotes and sauces, or for flavoring tea. Simmering the dried fruits (whole or diced) in boiling water for 10 to 20 minutes and then steeping (off heat) for 5-10 minutes will make a delicious fruit tea. This flavorful liquid can be enjoyed as is, added to black or green tea, or used as a base for perfect peach flavor iced tea. The strained fruit can be used for baking, making sauce or salsa, or as an add-in for yogurt, oatmeal, or cereal.
