Taylor & Colledge Lavender Extract Paste 1.4oz Tube — Concentrated No‑Mess Lavender Flavor for Baking & Icings

Taylor & Colledge Lavender Extract Paste is a concentrated, no‑mess 1.4oz tube of real lavender flavor designed for baking, icings, and desserts.

This lavender paste condenses the floral aroma and taste of Lavandula angustifolia into a thick, easy‑to‑use tube so you can add genuine lavender flavor without extra liquid. Crafted from flowers grown in southern Australia and distilled at peak bloom, the paste preserves the essential floral notes while remaining gluten‑free and non‑GMO. Its compact size and paste form make it a practical choice for home bakers, pastry chefs, and anyone who wants precise, repeatable flavor in cakes, cookies, icings, and beverages.

How much paste should I use compared with liquid lavender extract?

The paste is highly concentrated, so you typically use much less than you would with a liquid extract. Start with a small fraction—about one quarter to one third—of the liquid extract amount and adjust to taste. Because it adds no extra moisture, it won’t change batter consistency or require recipe rebalancing.

• Concentrated formula: stronger flavor per drop than liquid extracts.
• Use less: begin with 25–33% of the liquid amount called for.
• No extra liquid: maintains batter and dough textures.

What recipes benefit most from Lavender Extract Paste?

Lavender paste pairs especially well with baked goods and desserts where delicate floral notes enhance other flavors. It lifts buttercreams, glazes, shortbreads, custards, and syrups without watering them down. Try small test batches first to find the ideal balance with citrus, honey, vanilla, or almond.

• Buttercreams and icings: clear floral aroma without extra liquid.
• Cakes and cupcakes: fold into batter for consistent flavor distribution.
• Syrups, custards, and custard-based fillings: infuses bright floral notes.

How is this lavender paste made and what ingredients are used?

Taylor & Colledge uses Lavandula angustifolia grown in southern Australia, harvested in January when blooms are at their peak. Flowers are distilled to capture essence, then blended into a thick paste using a traditional extraction technique refined over more than a century. The finished product is made with natural ingredients and is gluten‑free and non‑GMO for straightforward pantry use.

• Sourced lavender: Lavandula angustifolia from southern Australia.
• Peak harvest: flowers collected in January to capture full aroma.
• Natural formulation: gluten‑free, non‑GMO ingredients in a paste base.

How should I store and handle the paste for best results?

The small 1.4oz tube is designed for convenient, mess‑free dispensing and secure storage. Keep the cap tightened and store in a cool, dark place away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve flavor. For longer storage, refrigeration can help retain aroma, but allow the paste to warm slightly before measuring so it blends smoothly into cold or room‑temperature mixes.

• No‑mess tube: squeezable control avoids spoons and spills.
• Store cool and dark: preserves aromatic compounds longer.
• Refrigerate optionally: soften slightly before use for easier measuring.

Who is this for: Home bakers, professional pastry chefs, and flavor‑curious cooks who want authentic lavender character without the complications of liquid extracts will appreciate this concentrated, easy‑to‑use tube. It’s especially useful when precise flavor control and consistent results are important—from small batch cookies and artisanal cupcakes to decorative icings and infused syrups.
