Description

Walnut extract is a liquid concentrate made from walnuts, used in cooking to provide an intense and characteristic flavor to a wide variety of recipes, especially in desserts, baked goods, and sauces. This ingredient enhances the flavor of doughs, creams, and fillings, adding a sweet, nutty, and slightly bitter tone highly valued in pastry.

Walnut extract originates from the extraction of aromatic compounds from different types of walnuts, such as the common walnut (Juglans regia). Traditionally, it is obtained by macerating the nuts in alcohol or through distillation and concentration processes to capture their purest essence.

Regarding its properties, this extract is rich in natural antioxidants and phenolic compounds present in walnuts, which, in addition to providing flavor, also offer moderate nutritional benefits when used in culinary quantities. As it is a concentrate, its use is recommended in small doses to avoid overpowering the preparations.

Synonyms in Spanish used in different Latin American countries: extracto de nuez, esencia de nuez, aromatizante de nuez. In some cases, it is also known simply as extracto de nogal, referring to the tree from which walnuts come.
