Frequently asked questions
What is bitter almond oil (NI Benzaldehyde)?
It is nature identical benzaldehyde: the same molecule that gives bitter almond its aroma, made synthetically rather than taken from kernels (INCI: Benzaldehyde). It gives a consistent, cost-effective bitter almond note.
How is the NI grade different from the EU Natural grade?
Both are benzaldehyde with the same marzipan character. The EU Natural grade comes from bitter almond, apricot or peach kernels and supports natural flavour claims; this NI grade is synthetic, so choose it where a natural claim is not required.
What does it smell like and can it be used in food?
It has the strong, sweet marzipan and cherry-stone aroma of bitter almond. Yes, it is suitable for food flavouring use, subject to the usual formulation considerations.
What pack sizes are available?
From 250ml up to 5kg, all priced online. The SDS, IFRA certificate and EU allergens declaration are available on request; use the IFRA certificate to set the maximum level for each product category.
