Acetoin

---

Acetoin, a versatile and complex flavoring, is a unique ingredient that brings a symphony of aromas to your creations. It’s an intensely sweet caramel, with buttery and creamy notes, and an intriguing twist of sour green. This multi-faceted flavor is particularly useful for enhancing and modifying dairy notes, adding depth and richness to your recipes.

Think of Acetoin as a flavor artist. It can subtly enhance the creaminess of milk, accentuate the buttery richness of baked goods, and provide a sweet, almost vanilla-like note. Its versatility extends to adding depth to fruit and citrus flavors, bringing out a vibrant orange juice-like zest or adding a touch of sweetness to carrot or even fish dishes.

Acetoin’s top notes are distinctly aromatic, hinting at a delicate floral touch. It also possesses a subtle lipstick-like nuance that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication.

This powerful flavoring is best used in small doses, as a 10% dilution is often more than enough to create a noticeable effect. Experiment and discover the transformative power of Acetoin as you craft your culinary masterpieces.
