Starting with the ancient Chinese and Egyptians, essential oils have been used in foods as flavoring since ancient times. The first essential oils were likely infusions of plants in oil. Today, steam distillation is used which extracts the naturally occurring oils from the plant and result in a highly concentrated product. While the processing techniques have changed, the value of these essential oils as flavoring for food remains. Kalsec has an extensive offering of essential oils for spice, herb and citrus flavors ranging from anise to lemon and oregano to thyme.
Our expeller-pressed spice and herb extracts are made with a patented process intended to capture the true essence of nature. These spice and herb extracts are manufactured in the United States and maintain the highest standard in color, flavor and composition. They can provide unique, consumer-friendly labeling, such as “expeller-pressed celery”. Kalsec Expeller-Pressed products allow you to have peace of mind in creating a clean label product for your consumer audience.
