Food and Beverages

Our cannabis aromas provide intense and complex aromas and flavors to all types of food and beverages, incredibly improving the quality of your recipes and the consumers’ experience.

Why Use Food Grade Terpenes?

The secret in a specific plate keeping customers coming back for more resides in the combination of aromas, flavors, textures and colors. A series of stimulants that make eating not just a process, but an experience with each bite – a great way to treat the senses.

Cannabis aromas (cannabis terpene profiles), provide a wide range of intense aromas and flavors, opening a whole new world of flavors.

Plus, the use of flavoring products in the food industry is quite common, so adding this type of product doesn’t disrupt production processes in most companies. Many companies in the industry are striving to distance themselves from the norm, offering new flavors in their star products.

Now, cannabis aromas are here to make a difference. What’s the best part? Consumers not only get to enjoy complex aromas and flavors that enrich their food experience, they also get to enjoy health benefits when used in the right concentrations.

Not all compounds found in cannabis cause psychoactive issues; there are other elements such as terpenes that don’t produce any psychoactive effects but can help improve general wellbeing. Terpenes such as Limonene, can contribute to increasing concentration levels, or Myrcene, have relaxing properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

In What Food Products Can Terpenes be Used?

Terpenes can be used, within the right proportions, in all types of foods. All you have to do is find the perfect time to add these intense aromas when cooking; they are quite volatile, and you’ll need to make sure to add them during the cold processes, so the aroma doesn’t evaporate.

What Types of Food Terpenes Exist?

Food aromas are packaged and labelled under food grade regulations. This is the format you need to use when using terpenes to add flavor and aroma to food and/or beverages.

Within our food-grade aromas (terpenes), you can find:

Aromas for use in food

Our cannabis aromas (cannabis terpene profiles) for food are lipo-soluble (dissolves more evenly and spread out in fatty foods), ideal for adding specific famous cannabis aromas to all types of food; especially those which contain oils or fats.

Aromas for use in beverages

Essential oils are usually not soluble in water. Due to the compounds in our aromas being taken from essential oils of different plants, we’ve redesigned some of our most well-known aromas to be able to dissolve better in water and alcohol without losing any of the original aroma’s essence.

These special aromas that can be dissolved in drinks and alcohol are dieal for making beverages, as they guarantee a more balance flavor and aroma in record times.

However, there are some cases when making drinks, especially when making cocktails, that liposoluble terpenes are used. This can be done in drinks made to be consumed straight away such as cocktails, as balance isn’t as important as it is in pre-prepared drinks (plus, there’s more aromas to choose from).

Other formats

If you have any specific needs (powder formats, emulsion etc) make sure to consult with us; we’re sure to have a solution that fits your production needs.
