Mixed Berry Flavour Oil is a concentrated, alcohol-free flavouring that carries the sweet, tangy aroma of ripe berries — strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry and gooseberry — in an edible vegetable oil base. You add just a few drops to ice creams, chocolates, jellies, bakes or lip balms to get a bright, fruity taste and scent without adding water or thinning your mix.
Because it is oil-based rather than water-based, it blends smoothly into fatty recipes like chocolate, ganache and lip products where water would cause seizing or separation. Azlok stocks this flavour oil in sizes from 100 grams right up to 25 kilograms, so it suits both a weekend home baker and a small dessert or cosmetics business.
What you can flavour with it
This is a versatile, food-grade flavour oil. Common uses include:
- Frozen desserts — ice creams, kulfi, sorbets and frozen yoghurt
- Bakery items — cakes, muffins, cupcakes, cookies and buttercream
- Chocolates and confectionery — moulded chocolates, ganache and fudge
- Jellies, mousses and puddings
- Lip care — lip balms and lip glosses, where a sweet berry note is welcome
The product is GMO-free, vegan (no animal-derived ingredients) and alcohol-free, which makes it easy to fit into a wide range of recipes.
How to use it
A little goes a long way. Flavour oils are concentrated, so start small and taste as you go.
- Start with a few drops. For a standard batch of batter, ice cream base or chocolate, begin with 2–4 drops, mix well, then taste and adjust.
- Add at the right stage. For bakes, fold it into the wet ingredients or batter. For chocolate, stir it into melted, slightly cooled chocolate. For lip balm, add it once your oils and butters have melted and just before pouring.
- Mix thoroughly so the flavour is evenly distributed.
Since it is oil-based, it works best in recipes that already contain fat. In watery mixtures it may not disperse evenly, so pair it with an oil, butter or cream component where possible.
Safety and honest notes
This is a flavouring concentrate, not a ready-to-eat food, so use it correctly:
- Use sparingly. Too much can turn the taste bitter or overpowering. Build up gradually.
- For lip products, patch-test first. Apply a small amount to your inner arm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction before making a full batch.
- Keep away from children and store it clearly labelled.
- Use only food-grade ingredients alongside it when making anything edible, and follow good hygiene in your kitchen or workspace.
The oil has a naturally yellow colour and a sweet, fruity aroma. It flavours but does not necessarily colour your product, so add food colour separately if you want a pink or berry hue.
Buying and storage
Choose your pack size by how often you make things. A 100 gram bottle is plenty for home use and testing, while the larger 1 kg to 25 kg packs make sense for regular production. Azlok lists this Mixed Berry Flavour Oil at ₹389, and it is made in India.
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the cap tightly closed to protect the aroma. Stored well, it has a shelf life of about two years. Avoid leaving it near a hot stove or in a warm car, as heat and light slowly weaken flavour oils.
FAQ
Is Mixed Berry Flavour Oil safe to eat?
Yes, it is a food-grade flavouring made with edible vegetable oil and permitted nature-identical flavouring substances. It is meant to be added in small quantities to food, not consumed neat.
