Description

Butterscotch caramel extract is a liquid concentrate that provides a sweet, buttery, and slightly toasted flavor, characteristic of butterscotch caramel. It is commonly used in dessert, beverage, and baked goods recipes to intensify the caramel flavor with notes of butter and brown sugar.

This extract is traditionally made from a mixture of brown sugar, butter, cream, and a hint of vanilla, which is then concentrated to obtain a rich and creamy flavor. Its origin is linked to British cuisine, although the butterscotch flavor is widely used in international baking and mixology.

Among its main properties, its ability to enhance flavors without adding additional volume stands out, as well as its versatility in easily combining with sweet ingredients like ice cream, cakes, cookies, and hot or cold beverages.

In different regions of Latin America, this ingredient may be known as buttery caramel extract or simply butterscotch extract, maintaining its function in the kitchen as a flavor and aroma enhancer.
