Butterscotch Flavour Oil is a concentrated, oil-soluble flavouring that adds a rich, buttery-sweet taste to ice creams, toffees, chocolates, pastries and other bakes. Because it is oil based, it mixes beautifully into cocoa and milk bases without seizing, and a small quantity goes a long way.
Azlok's Butterscotch Flavour Oil is a light yellow liquid with a warm, buttery aroma, blended to mimic the classic notes of vanilla, butter and caramelised sugar. It is alcohol-free, vegan and GMO-free, which makes it easy to slot into a wide range of home and small-batch recipes.
What you can use it for
This flavour oil is built for sweet applications where you want that unmistakable butterscotch character. Common uses include:
- Chocolates and confectionery — dark and milk chocolate bars, bonbons, fudge and pralines.
- Ice creams and desserts — custards, kulfi bases, mousses and milkshakes.
- Baked goods — cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies and pastry creams.
- Candies and jellies — toffees, hard candies and soft chews.
- Fillings and frostings — buttercream, ganache and cream centres.
Because it is oil-soluble, it is especially suited to chocolate work, where water-based flavourings can cause the chocolate to thicken or seize.
How to use butterscotch flavour oil
Flavour oils are far stronger than typical essences, so start small and adjust to taste. A few working guidelines:
- Begin with a tiny amount. Add a few drops per batch, taste, then increase gradually. It is easy to over-flavour.
- Add to the fat phase. Stir it into melted butter, cream, oil or melted chocolate so it disperses evenly.
- For chocolate, mix it into the melted couverture before moulding. Its oil solubility keeps the chocolate smooth.
- For bakes, blend it into the batter along with the wet ingredients. The flavour holds reasonably well through baking.
- For ice cream and custard, add towards the end of cooking or while the base is cooling to preserve the aroma.
Keep a note of how many drops you used per batch. Once you find the right ratio for your recipe, you can repeat it reliably.
Tips and safety notes
This is a food-grade flavouring, but concentrated products still deserve care:
- Use sparingly. Too much can turn a dessert bitter or artificial-tasting.
- Do not use undiluted. It is meant to be added into a recipe, not consumed on its own.
- Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to protect the aroma.
- Store away from children and clearly label decanted bottles.
- Check for allergens and dietary needs in your final recipe; this oil itself is vegan and alcohol-free.
If you are baking for sale, request the COA and MSDS so you can keep proper records for your batches.
