Almond flavourings for baking
Almond is one of the most versatile baking flavours, useful in everything from simple sponge cakes and biscuits to frangipane, fillings, icings and confectionery. Some almond flavourings are softer and sweeter, while others are fuller and more intense, with the deeper character often associated with amaretti and marzipan-style bakes.
These concentrated flavourings are especially handy where you want clear almond flavour in a small quantity. They work well in cakes, biscuits, buttercreams, glazes, fillings and desserts, and can also be paired with chocolate, citrus or cherry for a more layered result.
Whether you want a gentle almond note or something richer and more pronounced, this range offers easy ways to bring almond flavour into your baking cupboard.
