LorAnn Oils In Canada: A Comprehensive Guide To Flavouring

Most baking enthusiasts are familiar with flavouring extracts, which come from extracting the flavour of an ingredient by steeping it into a liquid base like alcohol. From vanilla to peppermint extract, typical recipes will call for these ingredients to add flavour to baked goods and other treats. But what if there was an even better way to increase the taste of your sweet treats? Flavouring oils are a great alternative to extracts that enhance flavours to make your recipes stand out.


At Papagino Foods, our family-owned company provides only the best ingredients and supplies for any and all baking needs. Our wide range of products is of the highest quality, bringing exceptional brands like LorAnn Oils to Canada. Shop our selection of LorAnn Oils to add a little something extra to your tasty recipes!

LorAnn are known for their highly concentrated, professional-strength flavourings and food-grade essential oils that intensify the taste of any family recipe. Many of the flavours are made from natural essential oils derived from the peel, flower, or leaf of various plants. Your options are limitless with flavours ranging from all your favourite fruits and herbal specialities to fun-filled flavours such as cotton candy, marshmallow, coffee and caramel.   


The higher concentration of their oil-based food flavouring allows them to withstand higher temperatures than extracts, making them the ideal choice for candy-making. These flavouring oils can be used for a variety of recipes, from cakes to frosting to chocolates and much more.


LorAnn’s essential oil flavourings are perfect for any recipe. Papagino Foods brings almost 200 products from LorAnn Oils to Canada. Their food-grade essential oils come in a wide range of potent flavours, from more herbal oils to typical flavours. The Clove Oil is an herbal flavouring oil with a warm and spicy profile that works well in chocolates. A more common flavour like refreshing citrus can be found in the Orange Oil flavouring that pairs perfectly with chocolates and pastry coatings. 

LorAnn Oils’ Concentrated Flavouring Oils

LorAnn is a family-owned and operated business that originated in Michigan over a half-century ago. It got it’s6 start when “O.K” Grettenberger, who began as a pharmacist, recognised a demand for natural essential oils and flavourings. Naming the company after his wife Laura and daughter Ann, Grettenberger founded the company in 1962, quickly becoming a  nationally recognised brand selling products worldwide, including LorAnn Oils for Canada through their partnership with Papagino Foods!


Today, they offer a variety of flavouring products used by professional candy makers, bakeries, pastry chefs, yoghurt shops, and anyone else, whether they need them for a small project or in bulk (for qualified wholesale/business customers like us at Papagino’s!) LorAnn sells their flavourings in many concentrations, formulations, and sizes to cater to all baking needs. 


Sometimes referred to as candy oils, LorAnn’s Super Strength flavourings are unsweetened, gluten-free, nut-free, and low-carb, touting highly concentrated flavours that are three to four times stronger than conventional flavour extracts.  

How to Use the flavouring Oils

When using LorAnn’s oil-based food flavouring, it is important that they are used sparingly because the higher concentrations of essential oils are very potent. The LorAnn company provides a nifty Suggested Usage Guide to ensure you achieve just the right flavour intensity in your recipe. These decadent oils enhance any recipe, such as:


  • Hard Candy Recipes
  • Chocolate Recipes
  • Cakes
  • Cookies
  • Frosting 
  • Ice Cream
  • Yoghurt Bases
  • Milkshakes
  • Smoothies
  • Beverages
  • Gummies
  • Popcorn

The combinations are endless, with so many options! For a fun birthday treat, whether it is a cake, cookies, ice cream, or another sweet dessert, their Cotton Candy Flavouring Oil makes the perfect addition. Bring back care-free days at the fair or circus and inspire joy and laughter with every bite. 


You can spice up your next winter holiday or reminisce on December festivities with LorAnn’s Eggnog Flavouring Oil, filled with warm notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Or, enjoy the refreshing taste of an ice-cold glass of lemonade during summer days with their Lemonade Flavouring Oil, which adds a sweet, tangy flavour to your candy creations, taffies, ice cream, buttercream frostings, chocolates, and any other innovative idea you can come up with! Another one of our favourites includes Creamy Hazelnut, a rich, nutty formulation that packs a punch in your cakes, chocolates, truffles, cookies, and candy. Is there any duo more indulgent than hazelnut and chocolate?


Whichever flavours you prefer, it is recommended to store their Super Strength flavourings, and food-safe essential oils with the caps closed tightly in a cool dark place, as sunlight and heat can cause them to degrade. With proper storage, most flavours have a long shelf life, so you can create rich, bold confections for years to come.
