What makes yuzu special?

Yuzu is a Japanese citrus prized for its layered aroma—think lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit with a whisper of floral peel. It’s vivid without being harsh, bringing top-note sparkle and long-lasting lift. In culinary use, yuzu shines when you want brightness without overwhelming sweetness, which is why bartenders, bakers, and chefs love it.

Why Dolce Flav Yuzu Extract?

• True-to-fruit flavor: Clean, focused yuzu character designed for consistent results—batch after batch.

• Versatile format: Ideal for beverages, syrups, glazes, confectionery, dairy and non-dairy desserts, and pastry applications.

• Quality first: Crafted by Dolce Flav with rigorous QC standards to help you scale recipes confidently.

How to use it

For Dolce Flav food flavors, use 0.3–0.6% of the unflavored batch weight, adding flavor on top. Weigh the complete base in grams and multiply by 0.003–0.006: a 500 g base receives 1.5–3 g flavor, and a 1,000 g base receives 3–6 g. Start at 0.3% and evaluate the finished result before adjusting within the range. For hard candy, use the cooked mixture’s weight before adding flavor. If blending flavors, split this total allowance between them rather than adding a full dose of each. Spoon or drop conversions require the exact product’s density; use a scale. Pairings include vanilla, coconut, ginger, honey, white chocolate, cucumber, basil, and black sesame.

Quick ideas

• Sparkling Yuzu Cooler: Weigh the combined club-soda and simple-syrup base, excluding serving ice; add extract at 0.3–0.6% of that weight and start at the lower end.

• Yuzu Honey Butter: Whip into softened butter for toast, pancakes, or cornbread.

• Citrus-Bright Frosting: Add to cream cheese or Swiss meringue buttercream.

• Yuzu Miso Glaze: Brush over roasted salmon, tofu, or veggies.

• Yuzu Matcha Latte: Weigh the complete prepared matcha-and-milk base, excluding serving ice; add extract at 0.3–0.6% of that weight and evaluate a small finished sample.

• Yuzu Fruit Salad: Weigh the prepared fruit and any dressing as the unflavored base. Measure extract at 0.3–0.6% of that weight, disperse it evenly in the dressing, and test a small portion first.

Mini recipe: Yuzu Sparkling Lemonade (non-alcoholic)

Ingredients (1 serving):

• 10–12 oz chilled sparkling water

• 1 oz fresh lemon juice

• 0.5–0.75 oz simple syrup (to taste)

• Dolce Flav Yuzu Extract — weigh 0.3–0.6% of the complete unflavored drink base and add on top

• Ice and lemon wheel

Method:
Weigh the chilled sparkling water, lemon juice and selected simple-syrup amount as the complete unflavored drink base, excluding ice and garnish. Multiply its weight by 0.003–0.006 and add that many grams of yuzu extract on top, starting at the lower end. Stir gently, then add serving ice and garnish. If changing the syrup amount, recalculate the base and flavor weights; do not adjust by unmeasured drops.

Pro tips

• Balance sweetness: Yuzu’s tartness pops with a touch of sugar or honey.

• Layer flavors: Combine with vanilla, pear, or ginger for complexity.

• Test, then scale: Record the unflavored base weight and flavor grams in small test batches before production. If blending Dolce Flav flavors, share one combined 0.3–0.6% allowance.
