Azlok's 3 Dry Fruit Flavour Oil Sample Kit is a set of three 10 ml bottles — pista, almond and cashew flavour oil — meant for adding rich dry-fruit taste to bakes, drinks, candies and confectionery. Because these are concentrated flavourings, you use them a few drops at a time, which makes the small sample sizes ideal for trying flavours before committing to a big bottle.
What is in the kit
The kit gives you three separate flavour profiles in a single, affordable pack priced at ₹299:
- Pista (pistachio) flavour oil — 10 ml
- Almond flavour oil — 10 ml
- Cashew flavour oil — 10 ml
Each is a flavouring concentrate, so a little goes a long way. For home cooks and small bakeries, a sample kit is a smart way to test which flavour suits your recipes without buying three full-size bottles.
Where to use dry fruit flavour oils
These oils are versatile across sweet cooking and drinks. Common uses include:
- Baking: cakes, cookies, muffins, cupcakes and biscuits
- Beverages: milkshakes, cold coffees, flavoured milk and mocktails
- Candy-making: hard candies, toffees and fudge
- Confectionery: barfi, kulfi, ice cream, chocolates and pralines
- Bakery items: icings, buttercreams, ganache and fillings
Pista and almond pair beautifully with Indian mithai and kulfi, while cashew works well in creamy shakes and white chocolate. You can also blend two flavours — a touch of almond with pista, for instance — for a more rounded dry-fruit note.
How to use them
Flavour oils are concentrated, so start small and taste as you go:
- Begin with 2–4 drops per batch or per 500 ml of liquid, then adjust upward.
- For batters and creams, mix the oil into the wet ingredients or fat first so it disperses evenly.
- For cold drinks and shakes, stir a couple of drops into the milk or base before blending.
- In candy and fudge, add towards the end of cooking, once the mixture has cooled slightly, so the aroma is not lost to high heat.
Adding too much can turn a flavour bitter or artificial-tasting, so build up gradually. Keep a note of the drops you used in each recipe — it makes repeating a good result much easier.
Safety and honest notes
These are food-flavouring oils intended for culinary use in small quantities, not for drinking neat or applying to skin. A few sensible habits:
- Always use food-safe measuring and clean droppers or spoons.
- Keep the bottles tightly closed and out of reach of children.
- Do not use the oils undiluted or in large amounts — they are meant to flavour a whole recipe, not a single serving.
- If you have nut allergies, treat nut-flavoured products with caution and check how they react in your kitchen. Flavour oils may be nature-identical or infused; when in doubt, read the label and avoid if you are sensitive.
Buying and storage tips
Store the bottles in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat, which can weaken aroma over time. Wipe the neck of the bottle after use and reseal firmly to stop the flavour from fading. Kept well, concentrated flavour oils last a good while, so even the 10 ml sample sizes go through many batches.
The sample kit is genuinely useful if you are experimenting for a home bakery, festival mithai or a small tuck-shop menu — you get to test all three flavours cheaply before scaling up. You'll find the kit and larger single-flavour bottles on Azlok.
FAQ
How many drops of flavour oil should I add?
Start with 2–4 drops per standard batch or per 500 ml of liquid, taste, and add more if needed. These oils are concentrated, so it is easy to overdo it.
Can I use these oils in cold drinks and shakes?
Yes. Stir a couple of drops into the milk or base and blend. Pista, almond and cashew all work well in shakes, cold coffee and flavoured milk.
Are the flavours suitable for eggless and vegetarian recipes?
Flavour oils are simply flavourings and can be used in eggless bakes, shakes and mithai. They add taste, not structure, so they fit most sweet recipes.
Do the oils need refrigeration?
No. A cool, dark cupboard away from sunlight and heat is enough. Keep the caps tightly closed to preserve the aroma.
Why choose a sample kit instead of full bottles?
The 10 ml sizes let you try pista, almond and cashew before buying larger quantities. It is a low-cost way to find the flavour that suits your recipes.
