Olive oil flavoring is a food additive designed to mimic the distinctive fruity, herbaceous, slightly bitter, and mildly spicy aromas of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).
Olive oil flavoring is an oil-soluble liquid or powder flavoring primarily composed of fruity, grassy, and slightly bitter notes, mimicking the flavor of extra virgin olive oil. Its core aroma components include hexanal, 1-octen-3-ol, oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol derivatives, and a small amount of leaf alcohol, which impart the characteristic fresh green fruity aroma and mild spiciness to edible olive oil.
Aroma Characteristics: It possesses a typical and elegant fresh fruity and herbaceous aroma.
Sensory Performance: The top notes present a bright, fresh aroma of grass, green leaves, or tomato leaves; the middle notes reveal a soft nutty (almond) flavor and a pulpy texture; the base notes have a subtle bitterness and a spicy kick in the throat (mimicking the polyphenols of natural olive oil).
Core Function: To provide food with the signature flavor and “Mouthfeel” of olive oil without increasing fat content or cost, enhancing the product’s health image and flavor profile.
Food Olive Oil Flavour is used in Salad dressing, pasta sauce, bread, cookies, potato chips, egg white milk, e-cigarette oil, fishing bait, etc
Main Uses:
Condiments: Salad dressings, mayonnaise, vinaigrette, pasta sauces—used with olive oil base oils, reducing the amount of real olive oil used by 30-50% while retaining fruity and spicy notes.
Baking: Olive bread, pizza bases, soda crackers, puff pastry—premixed with butter or vegetable oil, high-temperature baking preserves characteristic green fruit aromas.
Snacks: Potato chips, corn on the cob, nut dusting powder—tumbled with sugar and salt, double-dried to solidify aromas, creating a distinctive “Mediterranean” flavor.
Beverages: Functional oil-based dairy drinks, plant-based protein milk—provides olive oil fruitiness, masking beany or grainy odors.
Industrial & Pet: E-cigarette liquids, pet food coatings, fish bait pellets.
