Cookies and cakes require vanillas that can stand up to high baking temperatures while still delivering rich, full-bodied flavor in the finished product. During baking, delicate flavor compounds can easily “bake off,” leaving behind a less vibrant taste. Selecting the right vanilla ensures your products come out of the oven with the warm, inviting flavor customers expect. These baked goods also often require a balanced vanilla profile that enhances sweetness and complements buttery, caramelized notes without overpowering other ingredients. At Lochhead Manufacturing Company, we’ve developed a range of vanilla blends specifically designed to maintain their strength and character through the baking process.
Granola has many factors to consider when choosing which vanilla will work best. Because granola is typically baked at high temperatures and then stored for extended periods, the wrong vanilla can lose its intensity or fade over time. Choosing a vanilla that maintains its rich flavor throughout both baking and shelf life is essential. Granola also benefits from a clean, warm, and rounded vanilla profile that enhances toasted grains, nuts, and sweeteners without overpowering them. At Lochhead Manufacturing Company, we’ve developed specialized vanilla blends designed to deliver consistent, long-lasting flavor in granola and other baked snack applications. Our Vanilla Specialists can help you select the ideal vanilla to maximize flavor impact, and keep your product tasting fresh.
Snack mixes & cereals require a vanilla that can withstand the high temperatures of baking, along with the extended shelf life of the products. During baking and drying the delicate flavor compounds in vanilla can “bake off” leaving the flavor more muted. At Lochhead Manufacturing Company, we have developed vanilla which can withstand this high heat and drying process. Talk with one of our vanilla specialists to help find a vanilla that will keep its strong flavor throughout every life stage of your product.
