Extract of rum

Rum extract is a liquid concentrate that captures the intense and characteristic flavor of rum, a spirit made primarily from sugarcane or its byproducts. This extract is commonly used in cooking and baking to provide an authentic rum flavor without the need for the actual beverage, making it ideal for adding aroma and taste to desserts, sauces, marinades, and cocktails.

Rum originated in the Caribbean and Latin American regions, where sugarcane production is abundant. Over time, the use of rum and its derivatives has spread to various world cuisines, especially in the preparation of traditional recipes such as flan, cakes, punches, and other sweets.

Among the properties of rum extract, its ability to enhance flavors, its sweet and warm aroma, and the ease of dosing it in preparations stand out, as it does not contain the high alcohol content of the original rum. This allows its use even in children's recipes or for those who prefer to avoid alcohol.

As for synonyms or equivalent terms in Spanish from Latin America, while there is no exact one, some variants may include rum essence or rum flavoring. However, these terms may refer to similar products but with differences in concentration and composition, so it is important to specifically look for "rum extract" to achieve optimal results in cooking.
