About

Family-owned and operated since 1962, Lorann Oils has a history of supplying home crafters, professionals, retailers, and manufacturers with top-quality flavorings, essential oils, and specialty ingredients for baking, candy making, aromatherapy, and more.

What are Bakery Emulsions? Bakery Emulsions are LorAnn's version of an extract.  These flavorings are formulated to be the same strength as an "extract" (1 teaspoon emulsion = 1 teaspoon extract), but instead of the flavor being diluted in alcohol, it is suspended in a water-base.  Many bakers prefer this to alcohol-based extracts because the flavor is not compromised by the taste of the alcohol.

Why is a water-based suspension better?  Water is a more neutral carrier than alcohol - it imparts no added flavor and does not evaporate as rapidly when exposed to heat. This allows the flavor to taste better, smell better and not "bake-out" as readily as a traditional alcohol-based extract.Emulsions are ideal for baking and to flavor frosting, but are not appropriate for flavoring chocolate or hard candy due to their high water content; however, emulsions can be used to flavor candy centers.

Founding Story

Pharmacist O.K. Grettenberger, founded LorAnn Oils in 1962 and named the company in honor of his wife, Laura, and their only daughter, Ann.

Originally, LorAnn Oils bottled and distributed about 8 to 10 core essential oils such as peppermint and clove and distribution was limited to pharmacies. Over the years, the business has expanded its product offerings and we now sell to a wide variety of retailers, manufacturers, health practitioners and home consumers. Today, the company services over 30,000 customers in 51 countries.

Typical businesses that use LorAnn’s flavoring products as an ingredient are artisan candy makers, small bakeries, popcorn shops, ice cream and frozen yogurt shops, and cotton candy purveyors. LorAnn’s flavorings are certified Kosher by Star-K and LorAnn is certified as a Safe Quality Food (SQF) Manufacturer. SQF certification assures that products and processes adhere to regulatory, international, and scientifically proven standards for safety. Select flavorings, vanillas, and essential oils are certified USDA organic. Visit LorAnn’s website at http://www.LorAnnOils.com.
