Why Culinary Extracts

When I made my own vanilla extract for the first time, it was out of curiosity more than anything—a few split beans in a jar of vodka, tucked away in a cupboard. But as the weeks passed and the aroma deepened, I realized this tiny jar held more than just flavor—it was a piece of tradition, of intention. Homemade culinary extracts, whether it’s rosemary, mint, or cloves, bring a certain pride and purity you just can’t find in store-bought bottles. I knew exactly what went into them—no fillers, no artificial anything—and that made all the difference. Like many who’ve gone down this path, I found that making my own extracts wasn’t just about taste, but about reclaiming a little control in the kitchen, one jar at a time.

Culinary extracts provide a quick, and shelf stable, boost to your cooking. Whether it is for a quick marinade or a dash of vanilla in your cookies, they provide a potent and convenient way to flavor your food.


Shelf Stable

Being made with alcohol, the extracts are shelf stable for quite a bit longer than dry ingredients. 


Fast Performance

They also absorb into your food faster, especially in marinades.


Potent

Since they are very shelf stable they will retain their potency, smell and flavor, for considerably longer.
