Raspberries & Raspberry-Flavored Baking & Beverage Ingredients

Raspberry is one of the most versatile flavors used in commercial and professional food and beverage applications. Sweet, tart, fruity, tangy, this fantastic-tasting berry is used in natural (red or black) forms and also makes up remarkably popular artificial flavors too (hello, blue raspberry...). OliveNation offers raspberry ingredients and flavors for both sweet and savory cooking, baking, and beverage applications. One of the many reasons this berry is so popular is that it pairs well with so many different flavor profiles. From baked goods and desserts to frozen treats and drinks to candy fillings, sauces, marinades, and salad dressings, raspberry ingredients add just the right note. Our selection of professional-quality raspberries and raspberry-flavored products for commercial food and beverage applications come in a full choice of forms designed for maximum flavor in any format. Professional bakers, confectioners, brewers, and ice cream makers love our extracts, emulsions, oils, and other liquid flavorings for ease of use and smooth blending. Emulsions and powders offer superior flavor in high-heat applications, while dried fruits add taste, texture, and flavor in everything from baked goods to baking mixes. Raspberry can also be used to add color as well as taste, and is perfect for use in creating light or dark red and pink shades as well as blue raspberry colors that add whimsical visual interest to beverages, baked goods, RTD drinks, smoothies, and lemonades!

What are the most popular uses for raspberries and raspberry flavor in commercial food applications?

• Dried or Freeze-Dried/Powdered Raspberries are great in baked goods, frozen desserts, as edible decoration, or as a finishing garnish for plated desserts, cocktails, or non-alcoholic drinks. These delicious berries are perfect for mixing into batters, frostings, fillings, and for creating thick, fruity compotes. Freeze-dried powders are a perfect choice for low-moisture applications like baking or drink mixes, frostings, and fillings. Try them in:
  • Cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, cookies
  • Muffins, fruited breads, savory bakes, nutritional/energy bars
  • Ice Cream, Yogurt, Mousse, Pudding, Gelato, Sorbet, Semifreddo
  • Frostings, icing, pastry fillings, confectionery fillings, compote, sauces, drizzles, savory dressings & marinades, dry mixes (powders only)
  • Lemonade, smoothies, nutritional drinks, teas, sodas, RTD cocktails, beers, wines, alcopops
• Water-Soluble Extracts, Emulsions, and Flavorings mix easily into liquid or dry ingredients for smooth, consistent blending. Great in baked goods, brewing, and other high-heat applications, alcohol-based extracts add authentic, true-to-ingredient flavor and aroma. Water-based emulsions feature a PG or glycerin based that leaves behind stronger flavoring in baking applications, but has no alcohol aftertaste, making them ideal for low and no-bake recipes and beverages. TTB-approved formulations are perfect for alcoholic drinks and great for commercial production of beer, wine, spirits, alcopops, and RTD beverage processing. Use water-soluble liquid flavorings in:
• Cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, cookies
• Muffins, fruited breads, savory bakes, nutritional/energy bars
• Ice Cream, Yogurt, Mousse, Pudding, Gelato, Sorbet, Semifreddo
• Frostings, icing, pastry fillings, confectionery fillings, compote, sauces, drizzles, savory dressings & marinades
• Lemonade, smoothies, nutritional drinks, teas, sodas, RTD cocktails, beers, wines, alcopops
• Oil-Based Flavorings such as flavoring oils and flavored couverture are perfect for confectionery applications and especially good for chocolate-making. While many concentrated extracts can be used in confections due to their concentrated nature, oils are a reliable and consistent choice for flavoring various candy types and fat-based recipes. Use oil-based flavoring in:
  • Hard candy, soft candy/gummies, caramels, confections, chocolate centers
  • Chocolate/Confectionery coating/dipping/enrobing/molding, fudge, ganache, fondant
  • Cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, cookies
  • Muffins, fruited breads, savory bakes, nutritional/energy bars
  • Ice Cream, Yogurt, Mousse, Pudding, Gelato, Sorbet, Semifreddo
  • Frostings, icing, pastry fillings, confectionery fillings, compote, sauces, drizzles, savory dressings & marinades
