Almond extract is a clear, alcohol-based flavoring with an intense bitter-almond aroma. A few drops deliver a sweet, marzipan-like note that withstands baking heat and perfumes cold preparations. It is used to flavor cakes, cookies, pastries, custards, syrups, and some cocktails, and is typically sold as pure or imitation extract in small bottles.
Derived from bitter almonds or apricot kernels rich in benzaldehyde, almond extract became a staple in European confectionery and spread through global bakery traditions. Modern production macerates or distills aromatic oils into ethanol and water for consistent flavor.
