This is one of the best lemon extracts available. I've tried them all and this is the proper amount of top note. Bold, pure lemon character without coming off as fake or like furniture polish. It mixes in effortlessly in drinks and foods. I wish they offered this in larger containers, such as 1 or 5 gallon pails, but even so, this is a great product.

Great tasting peppermint for our drinks. Larger bottle makes it more cost effective. Customers love the taste. Just a drop or 2 is needed for each drink, or else it will over power the drink. Otherwise very good product.

This almond extract is so good in so many of my recipes at the bakery. I love to make our chantilly cream with it. I also like that it's clear so it doesn't alter the color of the cream. I would have to say you can't tell it's imitation either.

The larger bottles are fantastic. We don't run out nearly as fast as we used to. We use this in our lemon cake, in addition to fresh squeezed lemons, to give it a deeper flavor. Also great in buttercream and fudge. So many uses!

The McCormick pure orange extract is really lovely! It's definitely like a candied orange/orange candy taste to it than a fresh orange juice or zest taste to it but as long as you know that going into it you're all good. Really fun for drinks and baked goods as they orange still comes through after baking. Definitely recommend.

This is a pretty good flavoring. I think it could be a little better. If used on it's own it does taste like orange, but there's a bit of an aftertaste. If used with other flavorings it is better

Don't see myself ordering this after using bakery emulsions. It takes three times as much of the extract to achieve what an emulsion can do. This extract itself compared to others I have used in the past still took twice as much plus lemon juice to get the flavor I needed.

This brand has been our favourite for imitation rum extract, as the scent is as fragrant as the real rum and it will stay even after baking (you need to put a little more as after you baked, the scent will be reduced). Overall, it is really good!

So glad to have found this clear almond extract! When making flavored icings, it’s super important to keep the colors pure, and white bright. This does the job.
