Basmati Rice Flavor Oil is a concentrated flavouring that captures the warm, delicate, subtly sweet fragrance of freshly cooked basmati rice. A few drops let you add that comforting rice aroma to candies, pastries, frozen desserts and drinks without cooking a single grain. Azlok offers it from 100 GM up to 10 KG, with pricing that starts at Rs 399.
What is Basmati Rice Flavor Oil?
It is a food-grade flavour oil made using edible vegetable oil along with permitted nature-identical and flavouring substances. The aroma is soft, creamy and earthy with a gentle sweetness, echoing the character of traditional basmati rice. The oil is light yellow in colour, alcohol-free and free from animal-derived ingredients, so it suits vegan formulations too.
Because it is concentrated, it works as a background note or a signature flavour depending on how much you use. Think of it as a way to bring a homely, rice-pudding-like warmth to your creations.
Where you can use it
This flavour oil is versatile across sweet applications and beverages. Common uses include:
- Confectionery: candies, toffees, and hard-boiled sweets.
- Bakes and desserts: pastries, cakes, cookies and chocolates.
- Frozen treats: ice creams, kulfi-style desserts, sherbets and sorbets.
- Drinks: cocktails, mocktails and flavoured syrups.
The store description also notes that this aroma is appreciated in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its creamy, comforting scent. If you make soaps or candles as a hobby, it can be an interesting note to experiment with.
How to use it
Flavour oils are strong, so a light hand is key. Start small and build up to taste.
- Begin with a drop or two per batch and taste before adding more. It is easy to over-flavour and hard to pull back.
- Add late where possible. For frozen desserts and syrups, mix it in at the end so the aroma stays fresh.
- Disperse it well. Being oil-based, it blends smoothly into fats, chocolate and batters. In water-based drinks, stir thoroughly or combine with a little sugar syrup first.
- Pair thoughtfully. It sits beautifully with cardamom, saffron, vanilla, milk and nutty flavours.
Tips and safety notes
- This is a flavouring, not a cooking oil — use it in small quantities for aroma, not as a frying medium.
- Keep the cap tightly closed between uses so the aroma does not fade.
- Do a small test batch first to fix your preferred dosage before scaling up.
- Store away from strong-smelling ingredients, as concentrated aromatics can pick up or lend odours.
- Keep out of reach of children and follow the usage guidance for food-grade flavourings.
Buying and storage
Choose your pack based on how often you cook or produce. The 100 GM size is ideal for home kitchens and trial runs, while 500 GM, 1 KG, 5 KG and 10 KG suit small bakeries, dessert brands and beverage businesses. Azlok lists this as an India-origin product with a shelf life of around two years when stored correctly.
For best results, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Reseal it firmly after every use. Kept this way, the flavour holds its strength over time and you get consistent results from batch to batch.
