Lemon extract is one of the most popular choices for adding bright lemony taste and aroma to dishes. Extracts are concentrated flavoring agents that have been distilled from beans, nut oils, fruits, and spices that have been dissolved in an alcohol base. The lemon flavor in our extract comes from distilled lemon oil pressed from the skin of lemons. Our pure lemon extract is also terpeneless to ensure the best. most long-lasting flavor possible. Our pure extracts can be used to add flavor to candy, beverages, specialty dishes, baked goods, and desserts.
