Welcome to the aroma kitchen

Would you like to be inspired by aromatic cuisine? The aromatic farfalla revolution for the taste buds: Our three new, food-certified aromas spice up the pleasure of cooking.

Cooking with essential oils opens up a new dimension of flavour. Whether drinks, salads, desserts or savoury dishes - the natural aromas enhance the joy of experimentation in the kitchen. With the citrus oils Lemon and Orange and the spicy-sweet spice composition Cookies, classic recipes are given an aromatic twist and innovative creations find their way into the menu. Fancy more flavour?

 

Important to note:

In the kitchen, too, essential oils must always be used in diluted form, e.g. in oil, fats, dairy products or dough. One drop is often enough to achieve an intense flavour. As essential oils are not soluble in water, an emulsifier such as honey, agave syrup, lemon juice, vinegar or alcohol is required in drinks – as well as in bath water – so that they do not float on the surface but are evenly distributed.

100% natural aromas for the kitchen

Aromas in the kitchen vs. internal consumption of essential oils Understanding the difference

Kitchen use of aromas

  • The essential oils are graded as food, therefore they are called aromas and may be recommended for use in the kitchen.

  • They are used in very small quantities as a flavouring.

  • They are always highly diluted and evenly distributed - one drop per 250-1000ml of mass or liquid.

Internal consumption

  • Essential oils are taken undiluted or slightly diluted for therapeutic purposes.

  • High risk of health problems and side effects, especially due to lack of expertise and prolonged use.

  • If an essential oil is sold under the description "essential oil", it is categorised as a chemical (in Switzerland). For this reason, recommendations for internal use as well as for cooking by the manufacturer/provider are not permitted.

 

Basic recipes for our lemon, orange and cookie flavour oils

Basic recipe
Flavoured drinks

Dissolve 1 drop of aroma in 1 tablespoon of emulsifier (agave syrup, honey, lemon juice), pour in 250-1000 ml of water or tea. An emulsifier is also needed in alcohol or (plant) milk products.

Basic recipe
Aromatic marinades

Mix 1 drop of Orange or Lemon with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic and lemon juice to whip up a delicate marinade for tofu or vegetables, fish or meat.

Basic recipe
Desserts and baked good

Orange, Lemon and Cookies make pastries, cakes and desserts even more aromatic. You can usually dissolve 1 drop of your choice in 250-500g of dough or dilute it in advance in one of the ingredients such as fats, (plant) milk or eggs.

Basic recipe
Dips and (salad) dressings

No lemon at hand? A drop of Lemon aroma is particularly delicious in refreshing salad dressings and dips. 1 drop of Orange essential oil is just as good in a classic hollandaise as 1 drop of Lemon in a cream sauce.
