Azlok Cheese Flavour Oil is a concentrated, oil-soluble flavouring that gives cakes, cookies, breads and savoury bakes a rich, creamy cheese taste without you having to add real cheese. A few drops go a long way, so start small, taste, and build up. A 100 gm pack starts at ₹299, and larger sizes go up to 20 kg for bakeries and small food businesses.
What is Cheese Flavour Oil?
It is a food-grade flavouring made from edible vegetable oil combined with permitted nature-identical and flavouring substances. Because it is oil-soluble rather than water-soluble, it blends smoothly into batters, doughs and fat-based mixtures. The oil is pale yellow with a creamy, cheesy aroma, and it is GMO-free, vegan and alcohol-free, since no animal- or plant-derived cheese ingredients are used to make it.
Where you can use it
This flavour suits both sweet and savoury preparations. Common uses include:
- Baked goods: cheese cookies, biscuits, crackers and savoury muffins.
- Breads and buns: pizza bases, garlic bread, cheese buns and dinner rolls.
- Confectionery and snacks: namkeens, popcorn seasoning blends and coated snacks.
- Cakes and pastries: where a mild, creamy cheese note works with the recipe.
It is especially handy when you want a consistent cheese taste across a large batch, or when adding real cheese would change the texture or shelf life of the product.
How to use it
Because it is concentrated, restraint is the rule. Here is a simple approach:
- Start with a tiny amount. Add a few drops per batch, mix well, then taste before adding more.
- Add it to the fat or oil phase. Being oil-soluble, it disperses best in butter, oil or the shortening part of your recipe.
- Mix thoroughly so the flavour is even throughout the batter or dough.
- Adjust to taste. Baking can mellow flavours slightly, so bake a small test batch first when you are trying a new recipe.
Avoid overdosing. Too much flavour oil can turn bitter or artificial-tasting, so build it up gradually rather than pouring it in.
Safety and honest notes
This is a food flavouring, not a food on its own. A few sensible points:
- Never consume it neat. It is meant to be used in small quantities within recipes.
- Keep out of reach of children and store the bottle tightly closed.
- Follow good hygiene and use clean, dry utensils to avoid contaminating the bottle.
- If you sell food commercially, check the COA and MSDS and stay within permitted usage levels for your product type.
Buying and storage tips
Azlok offers Cheese Flavour Oil in 100 gm, 500 gm, 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg and 20 kg packs, so home bakers and larger kitchens can both find a suitable size. Buy the quantity you will realistically use within the shelf life rather than over-stocking.
- Shelf life: around 2 years when stored well.
- Storage: keep the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Seal tightly after every use to preserve the aroma and prevent evaporation.
- If you are new to flavour oils, begin with the 100 gm pack to test it in your recipes before scaling up.
FAQ
Is Azlok Cheese Flavour Oil vegan?
Yes. It is free from animal-derived ingredients, so vegans can use it. It is also GMO-free and alcohol-free.
Can I mix it directly into water or milk?
It is oil-soluble, so it disperses best in fats and oils rather than water. For best results, add it to the butter, oil or shortening in your recipe.
How much should I use?
Because it is concentrated, only a few drops per batch are usually enough. Start small, mix well, taste, and add more only if needed.
Does it survive baking?
It is intended for baking use in cakes, cookies, breads and other confectionery. Baking can slightly reduce flavour intensity, so a quick test batch helps you fine-tune the dosage.
How long does it last?
It has a shelf life of about 2 years when kept in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and sealed tightly after use.
