Chief Almond Essence

The essence of select almonds imparts a delectable flavour to your cakes and other baked dishes. Use in cakes, pastries, ice cream, gelatin, custard, juices and beverages to obtain optimum flavour.

As a flavour, popular in some Chinese sweets like almond tea and almond jelly (also called almond tofu). Almond essence is made using artificial flavorings and is therefore much cheaper compared to almond extract. When cooking, it is worth the effort of seeking out almond extract in good delicatessens, health food shops and the larger branches of supermarkets. Whichever you decided to use, for the best results, always add cautiously. Use according to taste.
