OliveNation Pineapple Extract from Natural Flavors, Tropical Aroma & Taste for Baking, Beverages, Frosting, Sugar Free, Non-GMO, Kosher, Vegan - 8 oz

Great tasting extract

I have ordered Olive Nation pure pineapple extract in the past, and been happy with it. When I ordered it again, and received the product, it was labeled as "Pineapple Flavor Extract." I called the company, as I know that flavors and pure extracts are two different things. I was informed that an internal company review determined that the label should reflect the name of pineapple flavor extract, rather than pure pineapple extract, but that the company had not yet updated their Amazon page to reflect new images. In other words, if you ordered Olive Nation's pure pineapple extract in the past, and you were happy with it, you are getting the same exact product, just with a different name now. I hope this helps anyone who may have had the same questions that I did. As a general rule, I only use pure extracts. However, I have this product in the past and had good results, so I will continue to use it.

This makes your cakes and cookies taste oh so good!!

I needed this to make pineapple cake and it worked perfectly. This is not a common flavor to find and sugar fee too. Exactly what I needed.

UPDATE 10/25.2020- I'm pretty sure they changed the recipe. I gave it a few months and about a half dozen bottles over that time. This was my favorite but I no longer use it. The extract is thicker now and tastes sweet and artificial.I love this product. I get grumpy if I run out before my next pantry shipment. It all started about 18 months ago when I became addicted to Trader Joe’s sparkling pineapple water. I couldn’t stand all of the 1L plastic bottles I was going through (about 3-4/day). My husband bought me a soda stream to help cut back on my pineapple sparkling water habit, but I had a difficult time finding a flavoring that I wanted to add to the water. This extract did it for me. I’m not saying that it makes my homemade sparkling water taste like the Trader Joe’s version, it is definitely a different flavor., but it’s one that I love equally as much and what could be better than walking into the kitchen and making it whenever I want? My daily water intake has tripled because of this extract.

This is more concentrated than other extracts, including from this company. Ive used it exclusively in soda water. At first I was putting too much and it was irritating my throat, so much I thought it was a defect in the product, and I'd have to throw it away. But it turns out, you just need a tiny dash to give a decent pineapple flavor (and strong aroma), which doesn't irritate the throat!

This is the perfect size and taste for the money. Its strong and delicious.

Unfortunate that Olive Nation is trying to save a bit of money by storing in plastic - and it does not look to be the non-bpa kind (nothing listed). I received the banana extract a few weeks ago and it tastes quite a bit more artificial than the one I bought about a year ago and think it may be due to it being stored in plastic. Same as with the pineapple version, but not as drastic.
