Essential oils are natural complex mixtures which retain the natural flavor and aroma of their botanical source, often obtained though physical processes such as distillation or mechanical pressing.

Extracts are similar to essential oils, except they are obtained using solvents to extract the volatile compounds contained within the botanical. Depending on the product and process, solvents that are used can be alcohol, water, or other hydrocarbon-based solvents.

WONF stands for “With other Natural Flavors” and is a term very commonly utilized with natural flavors in the USA. Essentially this means that the flavoring contains components of the named flavor, along with other flavor ingredients that are derived from other natural sources. For example our Natural Orange Flavor WONF contains flavoring derived directly from orange itself, and is further complimented with other natural flavoring ingredients to create that bright, juicy, fruity and refreshing orange profile we’ve come to love and enjoy!
