Extracts

Concentrated flavorings derived from various foods or plants, usually through evaporation or Distillation. Extracts can come in several forms including solid (as in a bouillon cube), liquid (such as vanilla extract or jellylike (as with a Demi-Glace). They deliver a powerful flavor impact to foods without adding excess volume or changing the consistency. Liquid extracts will keep indefinitely if stored in a cool, dark place.
