Food essences from Select Arome – Taste with precision and creative freedom
At Gourmet Engros you will find a carefully selected range of food essences from Select Arome – a producer with deep roots in aroma and flavour production since 1984. With more than 1,500 different essences in its portfolio, Select Arome is among Europe’s leading specialists in flavourings for both the professional kitchen and the experimental pastry chef.
The production of essences and aromas has roots going all the way back to the Middle Ages. Even then, sweets were flavoured with mint alcohol, brioche was infused with orange blossom water, and confectionery was refined with rose water. Methods such as distillation, extraction and maceration have been cornerstones of the craft of aroma for centuries – and still form the foundation of modern flavour production.
Today, demand for pure, precise and intense flavours is higher than ever. With food essences from Select Arome, you get exactly that – concentrated flavour, ready to use, regardless of season and raw material quality. You can tailor the flavour profile of your dishes and products with great precision – and achieve consistency and depth in everything from sauces and mousses to cocktails, ice cream and baked goods.
Dosage made simple:

To taste: Use the essences like spices – a little at a time and adjust to taste.

Measured dosage: Calculate the total volume (e.g., 1 litre of sauce) and dose according to the bottle’s recommendation – e.g., 0.5% = 5 ml essence.

With high heat and longer cooking times, you can adjust upward to maintain the intensity.

Essence gives you the freedom to create – with stability, precision and quality in every single drop.
