Mint Extract

Flavor Profile

Authentically minty without veering into toothpaste territory. Because we infuse with whole mint leaves the flavor reads as fresh and herbal rather than candy-like.

Our Mint Extract has a fresh and uplifting aroma with cool mint notes balanced by sweetness.  It tastes refreshing and crisp with a burst of smooth, invigorating, clean, and cooling finish that lingers.

Our mint extract brings a fresh minty flavor to the holiday season and year-round, too!  Whether you're using our flavoring extracts for a holiday beverage, baking into a cheesecake, or adding to a frozen dessert, we have an organic peppermint flavor extract that will enhance the flavor profile of any beverage or food with a cooling and invigorating taste.

Sourced from organically grown mint plants, this extract captures the essence of fresh mint leaves, offering a potent and pure flavor profile that is both cooling and aromatic.  Ideal for both professional chefs and home cooks.

Indigenous to Europe, mint grows like a weed throughout many parts of the world. Mint and its extract have been used traditionally to aid digestion, and to relieve abdominal cramps and nausea. Recent scientific studies have shown that mint's aroma enhances memory among test-taking students.

Mint extract is used in holiday cooking: ice cream, candy, cookies, cakes, baked goods. Mint is especially bracing when paired with chocolate [the darker, the better!]. Our Mint Extract is strong, so use just a little to flavor a whole batch of frosting or candy.

Try a drop of mint extract to flavor teas, or to enhance fruit salads. For something completely different, mint makes a surprisingly good accompaniment to savory dishes such as lamb, pork or poultry.

Mint has the reputation of being one of the oldest medicinal herbs. Add a few drops of our pure Mint Extract to a cup of hot water to help soothe an upset stomach.

Indigenous to Europe, mint was originally consumed for medicinal purposes, with archaeological evidence dating its use back almost ten thousand years. The ancient Greeks are thought to be the first to have cultivated the plant and even gave the herb its own legend in classic mythology. Eventually mint became a commonly used ingredient in food and is now prevalent in Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian cuisine, as well as popular European and American desserts such as mint ice cream (which was loved by Napoleon Bonaparte’s first wife, Marie Louis), candy canes, and mint chocolates.

Add extract late in the recipe or off heat to protect flavor, and store tightly sealed in a cool, dark place to keep potency.

Perfect for rum drinkers, mojito loyalists, mocktail makers, summer-cookout hosts, and anyone who's tried to muddle mint at home and decided life's too short.  For holiday hosts, mint mocha fans, winter cocktail makers, hot chocolate enthusiasts, and anyone who associates December with mint.  Stir an ounce into a hot mocha for a mint mocha that competes with your nearest coffee shop. Splash it into vodka and Bailey's for a Mint White Russian that drinks like dessert. Add it to hot cocoa for the kid-friendly version of the holidays. Mix it with sparkling water for a refreshing mint soda that's surprisingly good year-round.
