OliveNation Pure Strawberry Extract 8 oz.

Good tasting

This extract has a wonderful fresh strawberry flavor. However, it is very potent. You need to use an eye dropper to measure, unlike some other less strong flavorings. If you get a flavor that is too bitter or too much like alcohol, etc, you used too much. I use this to flavor iced tea. For one gallon of fairly strong tea, I use only 1.3 ml of flavoring, which is about 1/4 teaspoon. DO NOT use the normal measures in a recipe to substitute this flavoring - it will be too strong. If you do not believe me about the strength, let me ask you - have you ever tasted vanilla extract straight out of the bottle? Even if you love vanilla in cookies, cakes or tea, etc, you will likely think it tastes horrid and bitter straight out of the bottle! So if you think yours tastes bad, try using less. Note - different Olive Nation extracts are different strengths, so experiment with a little until you know how much you need for a particular recipe. For one gallon of tea, I can use one teaspoon of mango extract, 1/4 tsp of strawberry, 1/16 tsp of watermelon, and less than 1/16 tsp of apricot (I just got eye droppers and need to experiment with the last one - it is really strong!). Hope that helps you. :)

Didn’t work for gelatin still had chemical taste

Excellent flavor, I use only their extracts and flavors And have for several years.

The best strawberry extract which pairs great in baked goods

Smells great, light on flavor. I tried in ice cream. Very subtle flavor when using much of the bottle.

I've primarily used this to make strawberry milk. I appreciate that it's unsweetened because I can add my own. I don't detect any alcohol taste, it's all strawberry! I use 1 tsp for 12 oz of "milk" (which I make with heavy cream and water, 1:2 ratio). It's a little light but enough flavor for me. This extract made me confident in the OliveNation line and I've since ordered 10+ more different flavors, almost all of which are great!

I bought this to make a strawberry scratch cake. OMG! This extract lends REAL strawberry flavor to baked goods and icings. So much better than the "flavorings" used in commercial snack cakes. And the size is large enough that I will not have to buy any more for a very long time And extracts never go bad so it will last forever. I just wish it came in a glass bottle.
