Panettone, rum & festive flavourings
There are 8 products.
Festive flavourings bring the scent of Christmas, Easter and autumn into your kitchen. In this category you will find the liquid flavourings Panettone, Pandoro and Colomba from Decora for Italian festive bakes, the liquid Rum flavouring for rum balls, savarin and fruit bread, and the liquid Limoncello flavouring for summery desserts. The Speculoos flavouring, a FunCakes flavour paste with cinnamon extract, gives biscuits and creams a Christmas spice note. The pumpkin flavour paste brings pumpkin, cinnamon and autumn spices to buttercream, ganache and batter. With Marc de Champagne, a pomace brandy at 55 % vol, you can refine pralines and truffles. Creams, ice cream and praline fillings also gain a festive touch.
Tips for festive flavourings
- Use panettone flavouring sparingly: with the liquid Decora flavourings, 5 to 10 g is enough for 1 kg of dough or cream.
- The rum flavouring is based on water and flavourings rather than alcohol, which is handy when children are eating too.
- The pumpkin flavour paste is bake-stable and can go straight into cupcake or sponge batter.
- Marc de Champagne pairs with white, milk and dark chocolate; a little lifts ganache and buttercream.
Flavours through the year
Panettone and pandoro belong to Advent, colomba is the Italian Easter bread, and speculoos smells of Christmas biscuits. Pumpkin suits autumn cupcakes, limoncello fresh summer desserts. This selection takes you from one celebration to the next.
Frequently asked questions about festive flavourings
Which flavouring does an Easter colomba need?
The liquid Colomba flavouring gives the yeast dough its typical citrus aroma. Just 10 g is enough for around 1 kg of dough.
How much speculoos flavour paste goes into buttercream?
The recommendation is 30 g of flavour paste per 500 g of mixture. When baking above 200 °C, add a little more.
