Queen Baker's Blend Vanilla Natural Flavour is manufactured in Australia, using natural flavours, rather than pure vanilla beans. Vegan suitable and free from alcohol and gluten. The Bakers Blend imparts a creamy, French-inspired vanilla flavour profile and contains no artificial colours.  Bakers Blend is an affordable solution to deliver a strong vanilla flavour naturally. Our Vanilla Natural Flavour is alcohol free, making it suitable in no-bake applications.

Pack Sizes:

• 5 Litre Bottle

Ingredients:

Water, Propylene Glycol, Sugar, Natural Flavours, Colour (plain caramel)

Recommended Uses:

• Bakery: Cakes, biscuits, and batters where high oven temperatures might cause alcohol-based extracts to evaporate too quickly.
• Dairy & Confectionery: Custards, creams, ice creams, and fillings.
• No-Bake Applications: Its alcohol-free nature means there is no "harsh" alcohol bite in raw applications like frostings, chilled desserts, or syrups.

Brewers Guidance for Use:

The Baker's Blend Vanilla Natural Flavour is excellent for adding a vanilla flavour to your Stouts, Porters, and Cream Ales.

• When to add: It is best added post-fermentation (at the bright tank or packaging stage). Because it contains sugar and propylene glycol, adding it during the boil can "cook" the flavor away, and adding it during active fermentation may lead to some flavor compounds being stripped by CO₂ breakout.

• Dosage: Start with a "bench test." Draw a small sample of your finished beer and add the flavour in tiny increments using a syringe. Scale up once you find the "sweet spot." Usually, 1–2 ml per litre is a common starting point for a subtle hint.

• Clarity: Since this is a liquid flavouring rather than a paste (which contains bean specks), it will not affect the clarity or head retention of your beer significantly.

Distillers Guidance for Use:

For distillers, the Baker's Blend Vanilla Natural Flavour is typically used as a finishing/compounding agent rather than something added to the wash.

• Liqueurs: It is ideal for cream-based liqueurs or "Vanilla Schnapps" styles. Since it is alcohol-free, it won’t fluctuate your ABV (Alcohol by Volume) calculations as much as an extract would.

• Spirits: If you are making a vanilla-flavoured vodka or spiced rum, add this to the spirit after distillation.

• Solubility: The propylene glycol base acts as an emulsifier, helping the vanilla flavour stay integrated into the spirit without settling or "oiling out" as easily as some essential oils might.
