What it is

Organic Hazelnut Flavor is a flavoring agent made from organic hazelnuts. It is created by extracting the natural flavor compounds from hazelnuts, often through processes like distillation or solvent extraction, and then concentrating them. This process captures the characteristic nutty taste and aroma of hazelnuts.

Why it's used
