What it is

White Cognac Oil is a colorless, aromatic oil extracted from the dried peel of the bitter orange (Citrus aurantium). It is produced through steam distillation or cold pressing of the peel. This oil is valued for its bright, floral, and slightly bitter citrus aroma.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use White Cognac Oil primarily as a flavoring agent to impart a distinct citrus note. It is commonly found in a variety of food products, including deli salads, sushi, frozen appetizers, and hors d'oeuvres, where it enhances the overall flavor profile.

Health notes

White Cognac Oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring substance. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated it and determined it is safe for consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical intake levels found in food.

Allergen info
